- For example, a graphical web browser might by default send an
- =Accept= header such as
- =text/html,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8=. This should be
- interpreted as meaning that if for a given resource the server can
- provide content of type =text/html= (i.e. HTML), then it should do
- so. Otherwise, if it can provide =application/xml= content
- (i.e. XML of any schema), then that should be provided; failing
- that, any other content type is acceptable.
