(inner) defaultIEtoHTML(request, response, next)
The mountebank server uses header-based content negotiation to return either HTML or JSON
for each URL. This breaks down on IE browsers as they fail to send the correct Accept header,
and since we default to JSON (to make the API easier to use), that leads to a poor experience
for IE users. We special case IE to html by inspecting the user agent, making sure not to
interfere with XHR requests that do add the Accept header
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
request |
Object | The http request |
response |
Object | The http response |
next |
function | The next middleware function to call |
- Source:
(inner) globals(vars) → {function}

having to pass them explicitly
Parameters:

- function
(inner) json(log) → {function}
Returns a middleware function that defaults the content type to JSON if not set to make
command line testing easier (e.g. you don't have to set the Accept header with curl) and
parses the JSON before reaching a controller, handling errors gracefully.
