Hi,
a couple of service controllers return XML to an HTML request. This is
usually done as
respond_to do |format|
format.html { render :xml => ... } #return xml only
...
end
As coded above, the HTTP reply header reports "text/html" with the
reply body containing XML.
This is wrong and not RESTful (can we say RESTless ? ;-))
The service should always respond with a resource representation that
was requested from the client. If this is not possible, a default
representation (i.e. json) should be choosen.
