[redland-dev] Slight Bug or Enhancement Request to the parser

[Benno Blumenthal]

At the moment, I am running a sesame2 alpha at

http://iridl.ldeo.columbia.edu/sesame2/repositories/function-rdf

If one just hits the url, it returns the entire repository.   Tricky 
part is, the format varies (I think according to the Accepts: header)

If I hit it with mozilla, it returns text/plain  ntriples
If I hit it with wget, it returns rdfxml.

If I hit it with redland, it returns rdfxml.     Even if I told redland 
to expect ntriples.     This is obviously a bit tricky for the user, so it
would be nice if Redland either set it Accepts header according to what 
it has been told, or if it looked at the content-type to make sure
it is parsing things correctly.  Accepts allows multiple items, so just 
putting the preferred format first would suffice.
