Hi Fabian, It seems that IE6 doesn't use "*/*" but a longer Accept HTTP header so we need to be careful.
One option you have is overriding the default "accept.properties" file from Restlet with your own to do tests. You need to place it in a "/org/restlet/service/accept.properties" location, available in your classpath in front of Restlet JAR. For example, it might be possible to add several rules for IE to match all situations?

I've got the snapshot, deployed it, and still got problems. Let me explain: I get the HTML representation now, however there's a small catch. The HTML page contains AJAX code that makes some requests in the background to build parts of the page. One of such requests states Accept: application/json (that is, it expects JSON back), which is being *ignored* when the page is loaded with IE, thus breaking the page and the application (the page does show, but with errors). With this behaviour it's like if *all* requests coming from IE are 'converted' to the Accept header specified in accept.properties, even those with Accept headers different from the ugly */* IE{7,8,6?} default one. So, I was thinking that maybe adding acceptOld: */* back to the msie agent rules will fix this behaviour for AJAX clients that don't send a UA string, and so use the browser's. That way, when a 'good' Accept header (like Accept: application/json, Accept: application/zip, Accept: whatever_good_mime_type_specified_except_the_*/*_one) is present it is not ignored like it's being ignored now (Restlet snapshot from yesterday) Eagerly waiting for your answer... (bah, for the above recommended fix ;-)) BTW, I cannot remember how to do to build my own restlet, can you please refresh my mind with pointers to the pertinent docs? Thanks. Again, my pleasure to contribute to the already excellent Restlet framework.
