Subject: Charset encoding problem in Opera 10
new version of Opera doesn't like "application/x-javascript" MIME type. It causes encoding problems during Ajax requests. Here is the patch to fix it: lib/Catalyst/View/JSON.pm 99c99 < if (($c->req->user_agent || '') =~ /Opera/) { --- Show quoted text
> if (($c->req->user_agent || '') =~ /Opera/ &&
($c->req->header('Accept') || '') !~ /application\/json/) {

Opera 10.10 (Currently the latest stable version for 64bit-Linux) does not send Accept:application/json This means that this patch will not work. Content-Type:application/x-javascript will still be sent and things will still be broken in Opera. The same thing happens with Opera 10.53b1 (The latest unstable version for 64bit-Linux) If older versions of Opera really require it then maybe do a version check before sending "Content-Type:application/x-javascript" ?

Not sure how much an issue this is with any modern version of Opera. My recommendation is to do any user agent sniffing and compatibility in the middleware. I don't see checks like this in any other JSON encoder in other popular frameworks, so I'm going to pass.
