Bertrand Delacretaz reopened SLING-1336:
----------------------------------------
Assignee: Bertrand Delacretaz (was: Vidar S. Ramdal)
Reopening as no accept header in the request causes NPEs.
I'll fix that and write a simple integration tests.
> Let SlingPostServlet return JSON

> Key: SLING-1336

> From http://markmail.org/thread/ic2752rha4iy2s2c
> In many scenarios it would be nice to get JSON in response to a POST. You
> could write your own post servlet to do that, but then you will not benefit
> from the registered SlingPostOperations and SlingPostProcessors that are
> executed by the default SlingPostServlet.
> In the case of SlingPostOperation, an implementing class is passed a
> HtmlResponse object when run(). The HtmlResponse object is pretty agnostic to
> response format though, the only HTML related work is in the send() method.
> Thus, it should be possible ot replace/extend/abstract HtmlResponse with a
> more generic response object. The send() functionality is then moved to
> SlingPostServlet, which determines which format to return based on these
> criteria (in order):
> 1. The Accept HTTP header - if set to "application/json" return JSON,
> otherwise return HTML
> 2. Possibly also an :accept form field, with the same meaning as the HTTP
> header, in case it is proven that setting the HTTP header does not work in
> all browsers
> 3. The format of the posted data - if JSON is posted (see SLING-1172), return
> JSON, otherwise return HTML
