[jira] Commented: (SOLR-1123) Change the JSONResponseWriter content type

["Uri Boness (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1123?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12711075#action_12711075 ] 

Uri Boness commented on SOLR-1123:
----------------------------------

Indeed this is just for convenience and should not be in a high priority, but I definitely see it as a nice to have one. Just to clarify, the suggestion is not to have another request parameter (that would probably be too much as you mentioned) but instead add a configuration parameter in solrconfig. So you'll be able to define the json response writer as follows:

{code:xml}
<queryResponseWriter name="json" class="org.apache.solr.request.JSONResponseWriter">
    <bool name="useJsonContentType">true</bool>
</queryResponseWriter>
{code}

> 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).
