text/javascript Content-Type #72

Open dobesv opened 12 years ago

dobesv commented 12 years ago

I was briefly puzzled that when getting data from facebook the "auto" parser didn't work.

Turns out that facebook is sending the content-type as 'text/javascript; charset=UTF-8'

A little bit old-school but the 'auto' type might want to consider this to be one of the JSON content-types.

I guess it depends on whether or not it's more common that people fetch JSON data with this (incorrect) content-type or if they would sometimes use restler to download actual javascript code which they do not want to parse to JSON.

Note that passing options of {parser:restler.parsers.json} worked just fine, so this isn't a major issue at all.

Thank you, that solution works. Please, anyone else, note that to be consistent with the examples it should be {parser:rest.parsers.json}
