Hi Tom
If you can't manipulate the accept headers can you use the JSONRPC
binding which will return JSON formatted messges? Looking at the code
it seems that the JSONRPC binding will only handle POST requests in
JSON format at the moment. There is a TODO about parsing GETs but the
code from the RESTRPC binding could be used here to get the effect I
think you are after. I.e. HTTP params in, JSON out.
If that isn't a viable alternative then I don't have a particular
objection to adding the path info. I'd like to understand a little
more about the problem setting accept headers though as that sounded
like a neater solution. What mechanism are you using for making the
calls from the browser?

Simon
