Feature request: the ability to indicate content-type when the server does not provide it

ccp-ccollins opened this issue 7 years ago · comments

Sometimes I am forced to get data from a server that has a consistent API (for example, it always returns JSON) but does not set the Content-Type header. In these cases, it appears that resty does not automatically parse the response automatically with SetResponse().

In cases where I know for sure what data should be expected, I'd like to be able to indicate that, rather than reading the body and parsing manually. For example, it could be something like this:

resty.R().
    SetResult(&output).
    ExpectContent("application/json").
    Get(url)

It seems nice addition to resty. Thank you, let me think of Content-Type fallback option for response and get back to you.
