In my API I want to reject non JSON calls so I have
before_filter :reject_non_json_requests
def reject_non_json_requests
render :status => :unsupported_media_type,
:text => "" if request.content_type !=
ActiveResource::Formats["json"].mime_type && params[:format] !=
"json")
end
Is there a better way?
