Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-1123:
------------------------------------
bq. Why continue to return text?
This was discussed in a different issue (it has come up a number of times
before). At the time, returning application/json as the content-type would
cause all of the major browsers to fail to display the JSON and some would
prompt to download it and some would prompt to search for an application that
could handle it. Using "text" was much more user friendly. Clients that are
talking to solr and send "wt=json" or "wt=xml" know exactly what they are going
to get back anyway.

> Currently the jSON content type is not used. Instead the palin/text content
> type is used. The reason for this as I understand is to enable viewing the
> json response as as text in the browser. While this is valid argument, I do
> believe that there should at least be an option to configure this writer to
> use the JSON content type. According to
> [RFC4627|http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt] the json content type needs to
> be application/json (and not text/x-json). The reason this can be very
> helpful is that today you have plugins for browsers (e.g.
> [JSONView|http://brh.numbera.com/software/jsonview]) that can render any page
> with application/json content type in a user friendly manner (just like xml
> is supported).
