       $this->_checkAuth();  

        // Get Accept type info ???
}

Answer 1

Use CHttpRequest::acceptTypes which:

Returns user browser accept types, null if not present.

CHttpRequest is a default component and can be accessed via Yii::app()->request:

public function actionUsers()  
{  
    $this->_checkAuth();
    $types = Yii::app()->request->acceptTypes;
}
