@rnewson It's usually sent with q= value but the problem is that the
matching is not done together, so the correct behavior is giving the match two
possible behaviors and letting it decide the best candidate. I'll make a patch
this weekend. But I'm going to need somebodies help with making all the test
cases, I saw that some other people had done those kinds of tests for their
framework, it can be a starting place what we need to cover.
What bugs you about the old behavior, where you getting html when you
didn't want that or were you getting json when you didn't want that. And what
were the Accept headers that were causing you problems.
I don't know of a case myself where this old behavior would break, maybe
except if you only accepted xhtml and not html, then why are you calling it or
you want json if xhtml isn't available. All the browsers send something
containing html and they are the primary use case for not sending json to.
