Upgraded JavaScript Accept header handling to make it useful.
After user@ thread with Adam Jacob [1] http://tinyurl.com/kuhl2j I realized that giving users the option to set a server preference of mime-types was crucial. Without ordering, you see nasty side effects like a browser getting an Atom feed by default. With ordering, you can ensure that browsers get HTML, API clients see XML, and Ajax apps use JSON in a no-hassle way. Example new API: function(doc, req) { provides("html", function() { return "Hello " + doc.name + "."; }); provides("xml", function() { var xml = new XML('<xml></xml>'); xml.hello = doc.name; return xml; } }; If a client sends an Accept header like "application/xml, text/html" this will return html. If the client sends just "application/xml" they will get xml. respondsWith() has been removed. I don't think it's worth the cost to maintain a parallel implementation just to be deprecated as buggy. This patch also continues us on the path to a cleaner, more organized query server. Cheers and enjoy.
