OData content types

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there were any plans to extend the OLingo library to 
set the content types automatically based on request, format and accept 
header?
Right now it just responds application/xml or application/json depending 
on either the accept header or the $format. This can be overriden but 
this is very repetitive coding. Can the defaults be set to conform to 
the MS example services? e.g.

application/json;odata=minimalmetadata;streaming=true;charset=utf-8
application/atom+xml;type=feed;charset=utf-8

Regards

I believe "application/json" is preferred format with Odata V4, if one is not defined explicitly. Not sure in V2.
