Uri Boness updated SOLR-1123:
-----------------------------

    Attachment: JSON_contentType_incl_tests.patch

This patch is a simple implementation for this functionality. The writer can be configured with a {{userJsonContentType}} boolean parameter that when set to {{true}} the content type for the output will be "application/json" instead of "text/plain". For backward compatibility reasons, when this parameter is absent, the "text/plain" content type will be used.

> Currently the jSON content type is not used. Instead the palin/text content type is used. The reason for this as I understand is to enable viewing the json response as as text in the browser. While this is valid argument, I do believe that there should at least be an option to configure this writer to use the JSON content type. According to [RFC4627|http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt] the json content type needs to be application/json (and not text/x-json). The reason this can be very helpful is that today you have plugins for browsers (e.g. [JSONView|http://brh.numbera.com/software/jsonview]) that can render any page with application/json content type in a user friendly manner (just like xml is supported).
