527782 - serve JSON as application/json on getpersonas.com

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(mozilla.org Graveyard :: Server Operations, task)

Description

[Myk Melez [:myk] [@mykmelez]]

Currently, JSON (f.e. <https://www.getpersonas.com/static/3/3/33/index_1.json>) is served from getpersonas.com as text/plain.  According to RFC 4627 <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt>, the media type for JSON is application/json.  getpersonas.com should serve its JSON as that media type, so extensions like JSONView <http://brh.numbera.com/software/jsonview/> can pretty-print it.

Moving over to IT, they can setup apache to serve .json files with the appropriate content type.

We can make this change along with tomorrow's push.

Would it be possible to make this change on sm-personas01.mozilla.org in advance of the push?  I don't expect it to cause any problems, but it would be useful to be able to verify that on the staging server beforehand.

Added. Let me know if it looks fine/you're seeing the right type.

Thanks!  I've done various tests today, and not only do I see the right type, but the extension appears to handle JSON served as that type just fine.
