Setting explicit response Content-Type in CouchDB

Question

I'm looking for a way to set the Contet-Type for couchdb response.

I have POST a JSON using Content-Type and Accept request headers as application/json. But when I call the GET for that document, it returns the JSON response with Content-Type text/plain; charset=utf-8. What I'm expecting is getting application/json as it's Content-Type.

How can I do this?

POST

• URL : http://localhost:5984/hotel_staticdata
• Request Body : {"_id":"test-hotel-stat-data","content":[{"hotelcode": "AMB3_LON","hotelname": "Ambassadors Bloomsbury"},{"hotelcode": "ALE1_LON","hotelname": "Alexandra"},{"hotelcode": "ALE1_LON","hotelname": "Alexandra"}]}
• Request Headers : Accept : application/json Content-Type : application/json

GET

• URL : http://localhost:5984/hotel_staticdata/test-hotel-stat-data
• Response Body : {"_id":"test-hotel-stat-data","_rev":"3-6c6e26cd5690794886a8dc65308bf078","content":[{"hotelcode":"AMB3_LON","hotelname":"Ambassadors Bloomsbury"},{"hotelcode":"ALE1_LON","hotelname":"Alexandra"},{"hotelcode":"ALE1_LON","hotelname":"Alexandra"}]}
• Response Headers : Content-Length : 249 Content-Type : text/plain; charset=utf-8

Instead of this, I tried PUT then GET also but the results is same.

• CouchDB version : 1.6.1

I got the answer.

When I call the GET with Accept:application/json request header. It works! Damn! How did I miss it!
