Re: getResponseContentTypes()..

[Stefan Hepper <st...@hursley.ibm.com>]

yes, the sample portal implementation only supports HTML as this was
sufficient for passing the tests and demonstrating how pluto works.
Other content types, like WML or VoiceXML are therefore not supported by
the portal. However the pluto container supports all content types, this
is just a limitation of the sample portal driver.
