I think you discovered an issue but I think the solution should be
different. Let me elaborate. The pragma is used to do content
negation, mainly to pick the method that produces the content that
most closely matches the user agents preferences.
Assume you have the following HTTP request header:
Accept: text/xml; q=0.5, text/plain; q=0.1
And the following two methods:
xml
<produces: 'text/xml'>
text
<produces: 'text/plain'>
Seaside-REST would then pick the #xml method. Now per default we set
the mime type of the response and lose the encoding as you report. We
should set that but we should read it from the request context /
server adapter instead of the method [1]. You don't want to hard code
it in the method.
