Ok, last question of the night.

Can I force a response object to be cleaned up and then converted to an E4X object if it returns text/html as the mimetype? Basically I want

CODE

y.rest(url).header('Cookie', "stuff").get().response

to be the same as

CODE

y.query("SELECT * FROM html WHERE url=@url", {url : url})

except that it has the special cookie headers I want.

Implementation ideas :

CODE

y.rest(url).header('Cookie', "stuff").get().e4xresponse

CODE

y.rest(url).header('Cookie', "stuff").get().e4xresponse()

CODE

y.htmlToXml(y.rest(url).header('Cookie', "stuff").get().response)

Yes this is already implemented in the current release which is in production. You have to specify the accept header with "text/html" for the html clean up to happen

The following line will do the trick

CODE

 y.rest(url).accept("text/html").header("Cookie", "stuff").get().response

wonderful. That's a little non-intuitive that by setting the accept header I end up cleaning up the data, but in hindsight it makes sense. Maybe a little callout in the manual?
