Johannes J. Schmidt commented on COUCHDB-1175:
----------------------------------------------

Hey come on, this is a very relevant bug. For me its a blocker to use 1.0.2 
until this is fixed.

My scenario:
I have a CouchApp and give my users their own dbs, which they can secure if 
they want to.
Behind a vhost I route example.com/myfairuser to a list function inside the db 
myfairuser.
Now imagine myfairuser is secured. How can you login there?
Don't tell me the user has to return to example.com after reading the nice 
{"error":"unauthorized","reason":"You are not authorized to access this db."} 
using the browser navigation.

> Currently we ignore qvalues when negotiation between 'application/json' and 
> 'text/plain' when returning JSON responses.
> Specifically, we test directly for 'application/json' or 'text/plain' in the 
> Accept header. Different branches have different bugs, though. Trunk returns 
> 'application/json' if 'application/json' is present at all, even if it's less 
> preferred than 'text/plain' when qvalues are accounted for.
> We should follow the standard.
