Tim,

The Lift bug was that it was not respecting the Content-Type except in a few
cases.  The change is better all around and I believe will support any mime
type with more flexibility.  The current "special case" mime types are XML,
multi-part mime, and forms.  All other mime types will just pass the request
body on the Req instance.

This should make doing web services better in Lift.

Thanks,

David
