Closes #1581
This PR adds the ability to use different media types for RawType states. If the
Accept
header does not specifytext/plain
(which is the default used before), a new method checks if any of the provided media types in the header matches the media type of the state and sends the response with that media-type set. If no match is found, but theAccept
header specifiesapplication/octet-stream
this media type is used. In case of media-type mismatch status 415 (unsupported media type) is returned. If the item state is notRawType
the request is considered invalid and a 400 (bad request) is returned.Signed-off-by: Jan N. Klug github@klug.nrw
