So maybe you could add in Boot.scala
determineContentType = {
case (Full(req), _) if req.path match {
case "text" :: "only" :: _ => true
case _ => false} => "text/html"
} orElse determineContentType
which would set the return type of any page under and including "/text/
only" to "text/html" and if not under that would chain to the standard
lift content type determine partial function...
Obviously you could define your own function to check the path rather
than in-line it...
David: Would req.param("x") be the equivalent to S.param("x") ??
