content_type is not automatically set

[brandonweiss]

I'm not sure if this is intended or not, but I was surprised to see RABL setting the content_type to text/html when the format was set to JSON. I wound up having to manually set the content_type for all responses to application/json. Is this a bug, working as intended, or am I doing something wrong?

I use sinatra and rabl together mostly and I just set the content type in a before filter. If RABL did set the content type, I would want that to support Rails, Sinatra and Padrino. Right now its left up to the user since rabl supports json/xml/msgpack/etc it was something that was never automated. Patches welcome though :)

Ah yeah, in retrospect that makes sense, I just wasn't expecting it. That should probably be added to the readme so other people don't get bit by it, until RABL detects frameworks and sets it accordingly.

Good idea, I will add it to the readme soon, thanks for the feedback
