Overview

A Rack middleware for automatically removing file extensions from URIs, and update the Accept HTTP Header accordingly.

e.g.:

GET /some/resource.json HTTP/1.1
Accept: */*

-> 

GET /some/resource HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json, */*

You can add custom types with this kind of function (taken from sinatra):

def mime(ext, type)
  ext = ".#{ext}" unless ext.to_s[0] == ?.
  Rack::Mime::MIME_TYPES[ext.to_s] = type
end

then:

mime :my_custom_extension_v1, 'application/vnd.com.example.MyCustomExtension+json;level=1'

results in the following behaviour:

GET /some/resource.my_custom_extension_v1 HTTP/1.1
Accept: */*

-> 

GET /some/resource HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/vnd.com.example.MyCustomExtension+json;level=1, */*
