IBM Connections API tip – override Content-Type header

When working with the IBM Connections REST API all responses are returned with the application/atomsvc+xml Content-Type which makes it not show up natively in the browser (or at least in Firefox). A quick solution is the install the Force Content-Type extension and change the Content-Type to text/xml on the fly to make the result show up in the browser. Rules are quick and easy to define.
