Uri Boness commented on SOLR-1123: ---------------------------------- Indeed this is just for convenience and should not be in a high priority, but I definitely see it as a nice to have one. Just to clarify, the suggestion is not to have another request parameter (that would probably be too much as you mentioned) but instead add a configuration parameter in solrconfig. So you'll be able to define the json response writer as follows: {code:xml} <queryResponseWriter name="json" class="org.apache.solr.request.JSONResponseWriter"> <bool name="useJsonContentType">true</bool> </queryResponseWriter> {code} > Change the JSONResponseWriter content type > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: SOLR-1123 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1123 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Uri Boness > Fix For: 1.5 > > Attachments: JSON_contentType_incl_tests.patch > > > 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). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
