Content Negotiation enabled endpoints rendering as XML in browsers

[Kevin Miller]

Chrome and Firefox are sending this Accept header:

Accept:text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8

After grabbing the latest Nuget my conneg enabled views are now
rendering as XML in the browser.

Side note: It looks like the XmlFormatter really hates IEnumerable<T>
in output models. I had to start returning arrays to prevent the XML
formatter from blowing up with a

Cannot serialize member Foo of type
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1[[FQTN]] because it is an
interface.

[Jeremy D. Miller]

So yes, it's a real problem to fix later/soon-ish, but how are you setting up conneg in your endpoints?  If you only enabled json on those endpoints the xml rendering would no longer be happening.

That'll work too, but you could just do a convention that calls

graph.Behaviors.Where(x => x.InputType().CanBeCaseTo<IApi>() || et al.).Each(x => x.MakeAsymmetricJson());

That'll set up conneg support, but only with the Json formatter.

I apply content negotiation like this:

Media.ApplyContentNegotiationTo(x => x.InputType().CanBeCastTo<IApi>()
|| x.InputType().CanBeCastTo<IUnauthenticatedApi>());

So you are saying I can add a .Formatter<JsonFormatter>(); and all is well?

[Kevin Miller]

Thanks,

Looks like adding Formatter<T> does not fix the problem. I applied
your MakeAsymmetricJson() to the appropriate behaviors with success to
get me going for now. Of course down the road we may have customers
crazy enough to want XML.

Jeremy, would you like me to create an issue for this on GitHub?

[Jeremy D. Miller]

Can you just add a comment to the existing issue on conneg?  I think it's 215.

I *think* that just pulling the view rendering into conneg will solve this stuff permanently, but I just don't wanna tackle it right now.
