Tmdb API → Jaws

Assigned to Tender discussion #102. As reported in Tender:

Hello,

I am just starting out with the v3 API.

I know you are now returning only JSON, but what are you intending to do with the response Content-Type header?

I expected to see "application/json" but I seem to be getting "text/html".

Here's my test:

curl -H "Accept: application/json" http://api.themoviedb.org/3/configuration?api_key=whatever

Here's the response:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Age: 1662
Cache-Control: public, max-age=36000
Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8

The reason why this is important to me is that the REST framework I'm using can automatically convert a JSON response to fully populated (Java as it happens) objects so long as the response Content-Type header is correct. At the moment it doesn't work because it rejects the "HTML" response. Sure, I could take the plain text body and unmarshall it myself, but it seems like I shouldn't need to do that.

Or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!
