[Developers] mqlread http response header (content-type)

[Augusto Callejas]

hi-

when i perform a mqlread query, i get back HTTP response headers that look
like:

=====
Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2008 00:51:35 GMT
,
Server: Apache
,
X-Metaweb-Success: 1/1
,
Content-Length: 35616
,
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
,
...
Connection: Keep-Alive
=====


shouldn't the "Content-Type" header value be "application/json"?

 http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/

i'm having a problem with the 'charset="utf-8"' in the header.
the java http client library that i'm using (
http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/) reads the response (see example
below), and decodes any unicode characters (ie. /u001a) into their actual
character value.  however, this is before i get a chance to decode it in my
json library.  however, the unicode characters have already been decoded at
the http level, but not at the json level.

any thoughts?

thanks,
augusto.
