Jan Lehnardt updated COUCHDB-1281:
----------------------------------
Skill Level: New Contributors Level (Easy)
> Implement Accept header based content negotiation for the _changes feed
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: COUCHDB-1281
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1281
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: HTTP Interface
> Reporter: Benjamin Young
> Labels: api, http, httpmime, rest, restful
>
> Current "continuous" and "longpoll" (and potentially text/event-stream feeds;
> see COUCHDB-986) are selectable only via a "feed" query parameter. Ideally,
> it would be best for these feed types to be made available based on Accept
> headers sent with the request. Browsers and "lesser" HTTP clients who don't
> offer header alteration or addition could fall back to the current "feed"
> query param as needed.
> This addition would allow clients to send "Accept: text/event-stream" (or
> other mimetypes) with a _changes feed request and receive the stream body in
> that mimetype. The current "continuous" and "longpoll" responses would need
> their own registered mimetypes (rather than just text/plain or
> application/json). These mimetypes could still be used in conjunction with
> the "feed" query param.
