HttpRequest.get_preferred_type() did not account for parameters in Accept header media types (e.g., "text/vcard; version=3.0"). This caused incorrect content negotiation when multiple types differed only by parameters, reducing specificity as per RFC 7231 section 5.3.2 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7231.html#section-5.3.2). This fix updates get_preferred_type() to treat media types with parameters as distinct, allowing more precise and standards-compliant matching. Thanks to magicfelix for the report, and to David Sanders and Sarah Boyce for the reviews.
The documentation in this tree is in plain text files and can be viewed using any text file viewer. It uses `ReST`_ (reStructuredText), and the `Sphinx`_ documentation system. This allows it to be built into other forms for easier viewing and browsing. To create an HTML version of the docs: * Install Sphinx (using ``python -m pip install Sphinx`` or some other method). * In this docs/ directory, type ``make html`` (or ``make.bat html`` on Windows) at a shell prompt. The documentation in ``_build/html/index.html`` can then be viewed in a web browser. .. _ReST: https://docutils.sourceforge.io/rst.html .. _Sphinx: https://www.sphinx-doc.org/
