Detect Prometheus also by HTTP Headers #1

Hi,

"text/plain; version=0.0.4" could also be a good marker for detecting prometheus output instead of relying on /metrics or other path informations

Hi, unfortunately I don't have access to headers in the Chrome extension.

I'm closing this for now. prometheus-formatter will only honor text/plainand application/openmetrics-text content types. For now I won't check explicitly for a version number in the header as some exporters might not provide it.

For text/plain I'll still limit parsing to the defined metric endpoints, while this setting will be ignored for application/openmetrics-text.
