-----------------------------------------------
Summary: MIME type for JSON responses should be application/json
Key: CLOUDSTACK-6263
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-6263
Project: CloudStack
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
Affects Versions: 4.2.0
Reporter: Demetrius Tsitrelis
According to RFC 7158, the official MIME media type for JSON is
application/json.
In addition to conforming with the RFC, this might make it easier for some
browsers to correctly apply the right context to avoid executing any embedded
script (such as with cross-site scripting). See
https://www.owasp.org/index.php/XSS_(Cross_Site_Scripting)_Prevention_Cheat_Sheet#RULE_.233.1_-_HTML_escape_JSON_values_in_an_HTML_context_and_read_the_data_with_JSON.parse.
