Hi Chris Strictly speaking in neither case are they getting text/html nor > application/json, they are getting tiddlers which _contain_ text/html > and application/json. I think this is important. >
That's a useful distinction.

And would still be able to pass along the tiddler's type field in the usual way in the body? Thanks for your patience, I'm sure I'm still misunderstanding what's going on, Best wishes Jeremy That change makes the claim of "we've got a thing called a tiddler > _in_ some JSON" and makes no claim on what the tiddler itself is > claiming as its type. > > I'm happy to make that change (but it would need to be a few days > from now, not immediately). > > However, the same logic that drives that change seems like it might > be sensible for TW5 too, thus why I've brought it up.
