Benjamin Young updated COUCHDB-898:
-----------------------------------

    Attachment: provides_reverse_content_type_lookup.diff

The attached patch makes them both shortcut names and full MIME Type names 
usable to provides().

If code uses:
provides("text/calendar", ....);

then the MIME Type list that's included in (shortcut name "ics") will be used, 
just as if the code had been written:
provides("ics", ...);

This hopefully removes confusion for people only familiar with the MIME Types 
and who have not yet learned/found the shortcut names.

> Allow provides() to handle "raw" MIME Type declarations as well as "shortcut" 
> names

>          Components: JavaScript View Server
>    Affects Versions: 1.0.1
>            Reporter: Benjamin Young
>            Priority: Minor
>             Fix For: 1.0.2

>
> Right now, provides() only supports the content types declared via 
> registerType() if they're selected using the shortcut names used in main.js 
> (or render.js in trunk). Without a list of those "laying around" a developer 
> will likely submit a raw MIME Type vs. using the shortcut name.
> For example,
> provides("text/calendar", ....);
> currently fails because you need to use:
> provides("ics", ....);
> More people know about "text/calendar" than will know to guess the shortcut 
> name.
