Laravel and Content Negotiation
Chris Fidao posted a good tutorial on how to use some lesser known built-in Laravel methods to handle content negotiation.
An HTTP client, such as your browser, or perhaps jQuery's ajax method, can set an `Accept` header as part of an HTTP request.http://fideloper.com/laravel-content-negotiationIt's up to the server to follow the rules of HTTP. When a request comes to our application, it's pretty easy to ignore these rules, as our frameworks generally let us return whatever we want.
Laravel provides a nice, easy way to check if a request "wants json".
