AcceptMediaTypes is intended for wrapping env[‘HTTP_ACCEPT’].
It allows ordering of its values (accepted media types) according to their "quality" (preference level).
This wrapper is typically used to determine the request‘s prefered media type (see example below).
env['HTTP_ACCEPT'] #=> 'application/xml;q=0.8,text/html,text/plain;q=0.9' types = Rack::AcceptMediaTypes.new(env['HTTP_ACCEPT']) types #=> ['text/html', 'text/plain', 'application/xml'] types.prefered #=> 'text/html'
For simplicity, media type parameters are striped, as they are seldom used in practice. Users who need them are excepted to parse the Accept header manually.
