Kaj Nielsen commented on COUCHDB-2258:
--------------------------------------
A practical implication:
Browser extensions that renders application/json hierarchically instead of the
default rendering (plain text view) ceases to function.
But that's really besides the point, the point is technical correctness (the
best kind of correctness)...
> CouchDB 1.6.0 returns wrong Content-Type

> Key: COUCHDB-2258
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2258
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Security Level: public(Regular issues)
> Components: HTTP Interface
> Reporter: Kaj Nielsen

> CouchDB returns JSON documents.
> So the Content-Type set by CouchDB should be "application/json".
> Instead:
> > GET /db/doc HTTP/1.1
> > Host: localhost:5984
> >
> < HTTP/1.1 200 OK
> < Server: CouchDB/1.6.0 (Erlang OTP/R15B01)
> < ETag: "167-37f82fdbfdc49d38b1c66815deb1e338"
> < Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2014 22:26:39 GMT
> < Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
> < Content-Length: 649
> < Cache-Control: must-revalidate
> <
> ...
> As seen above, CouchDB returns text/plain.
