Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-1123:
------------------------------------
bq. Okay, what about today when there are plenty of extensions for the major
browsers to correctly display JSON?
Requiring the user to install an extension to display a response isn't that
friendly either.
We should think about the number of users who would be inconvenienced (and in
what manner) using one default vs the other.
The most flexible approach would allow the user to set the content-type, but
the default should remain what gives the best user experience.

> 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).
