Does anyone know of a way to get the built-in ContentNegotiaion feature to use a default output converter for requests with no Accept header? I'm not seeing an obvious way to configure the module to use a default, and also have not been able to figure out a way to mutate / replace the request headers before the ContentNegotiation module looks at them to fake it out.

The ContentNegotiation uses the Accept, for other cases, you can use call.respondText and serialize it yourself

For example call.respondText(ObjectMapper().writeValueAsString(obj), ContentType.Application.Json)

So if there's a possibility that a client will not send an Accept header, then using that module is not possible?

[Deactivated User]

Right now. I think so.

[Nathan Hartwell]

That's a bummer. Is there any reason why it would be undesirable to treat an absent Accept header as Accept: */*

[Deactivated User]

I think there was a suggestion to allow to provide the content type from a get parameter, but I think it is not implemented

[Deactivated User]

That doesn’t work?

[Deactivated User]

I thought it was already like that

[Deactivated User]

which ktor version are you using?

[Nathan Hartwell]

0.9.1

[Deactivated User]

it was fixed in 0.9.2 as far as I remember

[Nathan Hartwell]

Cool, I'll check that out. Thanks!
