Change the JSONResponseWriter content type
------------------------------------------
Key: SOLR-1123
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1123
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 1.3
Reporter: Uri Boness
Fix For: 1.3.1
Currently the jSON content type is not used. Instead the palin/text content
type is used. The reason for this as I understand is to enable viewing the json
response as as text in the browser. While this is valid argument, I do believe
that there should at least be an option to configure this writer to use the
JSON content type. According to [RFC4627|http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt]
the json content type needs to be application/json (and not text/x-json). The
reason this can be very helpful is that today you have plugins for browsers
(e.g. [JSONView|http://brh.numbera.com/software/jsonview]) that can render any
page with application/json content type in a user friendly manner (just like
xml is supported).
