---------------------------------
part of 2.5.0-beta1 release.
> Why shindig uses "Content-Type" not "Accept" to determine the return info type
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SHINDIG-1515
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-1515
> Project: Shindig
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Java
> Affects Versions: 2.0.2
> Reporter: hongtao
> Assignee: Henry Saputra
> Fix For: 2.5.0-beta1
>
>
> I checked the shindig code(common
> org.apache.shindig.protocol.DataServiceServlet), which is used to handle
> opensocial REST call.
> The type of response is determined by "Content-Type" header, not "Accept"
> header.
> From reading of http1.1(Content-Type :
> http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.17, Accept :
> http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.1),
> my understanding is,
> The "Content-Type" is used by server to tell the receiver the type of
> response, when it is added to response.
> The "Accept" is used by request sender to tell server the type of response he
> expecting, when it is in request.
> The "Content-Type" in request should be used to tell server the type of
> request's content.
> Is this a bug of shindig that it utilizes "Content-Type" not "Accept" to
> decide the response type?
> Or if there is any doc specifies this behavior, please send me the link.
