Description

Demonstrate via tests that our api deals with client's accept header

Accepted types: application/json, application/yaml, text/html

In browser, this means that our api is only browsable.

With curl (or other similar tools) however, you can ask with the Accept
headers

For example:

$ curl -v -H 'Accept:application/yaml' -X GET
http://localhost:6543/api/1/revision/edfbd9e840cc82e879d9aae8ecc29c7121ff750
Note: Unnecessary use of -X or --request, GET is already inferred.
