module Rack
  #
  # A Rack middleware for automatically adding a <tt>format</tt> token at the end of the request path
  # when there is none. It can detect formats passed in the HTTP_ACCEPT header to populate this token.
  # 
  # e.g.:
  #   GET /some/resource HTTP/1.1
  #   Accept: application/json
  # -> 
  #   GET /some/resource.json HTTP/1.1
  #   Accept: application/json
  # 
  # You can add custom types with this kind of function (taken from sinatra):
  #   def mime(ext, type)
  #     ext = ".#{ext}" unless ext.to_s[0] == ?.
  #     Rack::Mime::MIME_TYPES[ext.to_s] = type
  #   end
  # and then:
  #   mime :json, 'application/json'
  #
  # Note: it does not take into account multiple media types in the Accept header.
  # The first media type takes precedence over all the others.
