You can get @HttpHeaders injected and get the properly sorted list of
acceptable media types,
thus if you have a single method with @Produces having multiple values
then you can use the first *known* value in the list of acceptable
media types is the one which is expected by the client.
Ex, if you know that @Produces has html/xml/json and you get a sorted
list starting with json then it's json. If the lists starts from the
type not available on @Produces then you need to skip it.
