-----------------------------------------

I just reread this issue (in order to prepare the next release) and I fail to see how we should resolve this? Any ideas?

> As of SLING-1336 the Sling POST Servlet can interpret the Accept request header to select what response content type to render.
> Unfortunately that handling seems broken as for an Accept header like (as generated by FireFox with the JSONovich plugin installed) :
>    Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8,application/json
> the JSON response might be selected but sometimes also text/html (we can observe both behaviours for different server platforms with our application).
> The Accept header should probably consider equivalent q values (as for text/html and application/json in the example) to solve the tie by selecting the first type list; thus text/html in this example.
