I have tried to set the "Accept: application/json" header, but it didn't work. all i could get was the "406 Not Acceptable" status code.
Below was the command what i used to make the request:
curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" -d "{ title: \"foo\", body: \"bar\" }" http://127.0.0.1:3000/posts
and here the result:
HTTP/1.1 406 Not Acceptable Connection: close Set-Cookie: _xml_test_session=BAh7BiIKZmxhc2hJQzonQWN0aW9uQ29udHJvbGxlcjo6Rmxhc2g6OkZsYXNo %0ASGFzaHsGOgtub3RpY2UiI1Bvc3Qgd2FzIHN1Y2Nlc3NmdWxseSBjcmVhdGVk %0ALgY6CkB1c2VkewY7BkY%3D--41fbe342052f993cdaebf3ad9c431fb7537e8d4e; path=/ Status: 406 Not Acceptable X-Runtime: 0.02510 Cache-Control: no-cache Server: Mongrel 1.1.5 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: 1
if i use http://127.0.0.1:3000/posts.json or http://127.0.0.1:3000/posts?format=json, i would get the proper result.
