RecommenderServlet response content types for XML and JSON
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: MAHOUT-755
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-755
Project: Mahout
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Integration
Affects Versions: 0.6
Reporter: Julian Bell
Priority: Minor
In my opinion I believe the following changes should be made:
For the writeJSON method, the content type should be changed from "text/plain"
to "application/json". It's not as 'friendly' to some browsers but is more
technically correct. See http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt
For the writeXML method, if you don't put the character encoding type into the
same line at the content type, then the encoding type can be ignored and
decoded as ASCII (see http://annevankesteren.nl/2005/03/text-xml). So you
could change the content type from "text/xml" to "text/xml; charset=utf-8" but
it's probably better to change it to "application/xml". See
