[ckan-dev] CKAN is mis-handling Accept header

CKAN,

It appears as though CKAN does not handle Accept headers correctly.

The following returns HTML:

curl -H "Accept: text/turtle,application/turtle,application/rdf+xml;q=0.8,text/plain;q=0.9,*/*;q=.5" http://thedatahub.org/dataset/farmers-markets-geographic-data-united-states

while we "know" CKAN "has" RDF/XML, since it returns it with this request:

curl -H "Accept: application/rdf+xml" http://thedatahub.org/dataset/farmers-markets-geographic-data-united-states

It is my impression that the first Accept header should lead to an RDF/XML representation instead of an HTML representation.
Is that correct?

Thanks,
Tim Lebo
