Content type header gets stomped

[myronmarston]

I tried setting the Content-Type header like so:

header 'Content-Type', 'application/json'
get 'some/path'

However, rack-test stomps the content type header. First, #headers_for_environment converts it to HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE. Then #env_for sets the content type to application/x-www-form-urlencoded here. Since my content type header was converted to HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE, CONTENT_TYPE has no value and the ||= stomps it.

I'm willing to take a crack at fixing it and submitting a patch, but I'm not sure of the reason for the conversion to HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE. What's the best way to fix this?

Good catch. Fixed in master.

Any chance this is still a problem on 0.6.1? I'm using:

header "Content-Type", "application/json"

but seeing in Controller.request that @_headers is still "Content-Type: text/html"
