>             Project: CouchDB
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: HTTP Interface
>            Reporter: Ben Hollis
>            Priority: Minor

> If I request a document from CouchDB with an Accept header like this:
> Accept: application/json
> Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/json,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
> CouchDB will serve back the response with the "application/json" content type.
> However, if my Accept header looks like:
> Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/json;q=0.9,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
> CouchDB responds with text/plain.
> This seems to be because in src/couchdb/couch_httpd.erl, in negotiate_content_type, the Accept header is split on "," and then searched for "application/json". It should really discard anything after ";" when searching.
