  fetch_header("action_dispatch.request.accepts") do |k|
    header = get_header("HTTP_ACCEPT").to_s.strip

    v = if header.empty?
      [content_mime_type]
    else
      Mime::Type.parse(header)
    end
    set_header k, v
  end
end

content_mime_type() Link

def content_mime_type
  fetch_header("action_dispatch.request.content_type") do |k|

      Mime::Type.lookup($1.strip.downcase)

def content_type
  content_mime_type && content_mime_type.to_s
end

format(view_path = []) Link

Returns the MIME type for the format used in the request.

GET /posts/5.xml   | request.format => Mime[:xml]
GET /posts/5.xhtml | request.format => Mime[:html]
GET /posts/5       | request.format => Mime[:html] or Mime[:js], or request.accepts.first

# File actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/http/mime_negotiation.rb, line 54
def format(view_path = [])
  formats.first || Mime::NullType.instance
end

format=(extension) Link

Sets the format by string extension, which can be used to force custom formats that are not controlled by the extension.

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  before_action :adjust_format_for_iphone

  private
    def adjust_format_for_iphone
      request.format = :iphone if request.env["HTTP_USER_AGENT"][/iPhone/]
    end
end

def format=(extension)
  parameters[:format] = extension.to_s
  set_header "action_dispatch.request.formats", [Mime::Type.lookup_by_extension(parameters[:format])]
end

formats() Link

# File actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/http/mime_negotiation.rb, line 58
def formats
  fetch_header("action_dispatch.request.formats") do |k|
    params_readable = begin
                        parameters[:format]
                      rescue ActionController::BadRequest
                        false
                      end

    v = if params_readable
      Array(Mime[parameters[:format]])
    elsif use_accept_header && valid_accept_header
      accepts
    elsif extension_format = format_from_path_extension
      [extension_format]
    elsif xhr?
      [Mime[:js]]
    else
      [Mime[:html]]
    end

    v = v.select do |format|
      format.symbol || format.ref == "*/*"
    end

    set_header k, v
  end
end

formats=(extensions) Link

Sets the formats by string extensions. This differs from format= by allowing you to set multiple, ordered formats, which is useful when you want to have a fallback.

In this example, the :iphone format will be used if it's available, otherwise it'll fallback to the :html format.

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  before_action :adjust_format_for_iphone_with_html_fallback

  private
    def adjust_format_for_iphone_with_html_fallback
      request.formats = [ :iphone, :html ] if request.env["HTTP_USER_AGENT"][/iPhone/]
    end
end
