Yes, I have found the same behaviour, and not only with IE8, but with IE7 too.
The problem seems to be that IE sends an Accept: */* HTTP header and Restlet's content negotiation logic is providing the "default" representation, in your case JSON (in mine XML), for the Resource. All the other major browsers (Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chrome) send the correct text/html media type in their Accept HTTP header, thus making things work as expected (as usual). As a workaround you could add browser sniffing code targetting IE on your Restlet/Resource class(es), and if IE is detected provide it with the HTML representation. It may prove to be lots of work, but this is not really Restlet's fault, but IE's (why a web browser would accept anything other than the usual expected web media types, and even more accept ANYTHING as the sole representation of a web resource, is really out of my understanding). Hope this helps. On Wed, Dec 2, 2009 at 5:52 PM, Erick Fleming <[email protected]> wrote: > Has any found this problem.
