Overview

A Rack middleware for automatically adding a format token at the end of the request path when there is none. It can detect formats passed in the HTTP_ACCEPT header to populate this token.

e.g.:

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

->

GET /some/resource.json 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

and then:

mime :json, 'application/json'

Note: it does not take into account multiple media types in the Accept header. The first media type takes precedence over all the others.
