Fix uncaught error when parsing rest headers, document Started this work as better docs for rest response format. But I found 406 error response was not being tested. Also there was no error for bad Content-Type. In rest.py fix uncaught exceptions due to invalid Accept or Content-Type headers. If Content-type is valid but not application/json return code 415. Document use of accept header (was only shown in examples) and support for q parameter. Describe using .xml and .json extensions to select return format for testing from browser (where setting accept header is a problem). Document 406 error code return. Document 415 error code return and acceptable content types. Previously only doc was in examples. Set up tests for 406 and 415 error codes.

Roundup Issue Tracker
=====================

   <div class="release_info note">Download:

Roundup is a simple-to-use and -install issue-tracking system with
command-line, web and e-mail interfaces.  It is based on the winning
design from Ka-Ping Yee in the Software Carpentry "Track" design
competition.

The current stable version of Roundup is 2.0.0 which has quite a
comprehensive :doc:`feature set <docs/features>` compared to the last
stable release (v1.6.1). These features include:

   * Python 2 and Python 3 support
   * a new REST interface
   * updates to jinja2 templates including security improvements

For more information see the :doc:`design overview <docs/design>`, and
all the other :doc:`documentation <docs>`. Roundup has been deployed
for:

    * bug tracking and TODO list management (the classic installation)
    * customer help desk support (with a wizard for the phone answerers, linking to networking, 
      system and development issue trackers)
    * issue management for IETF working groups
    * sales lead tracking
    * conference paper submission and double-blind referee management
    * weblogging (well, almost :) 

...and so on. It's been designed with :doc:`flexibility
<docs/customizing>` in mind - it's not just another bug
tracker. Roundup ships with a *demo tracker* to play with - after
you've unpacked the source, just run "python demo.py" and load up the
URL it prints out!

Roundup was originally released as version 0.1.1 in late August, 2001. The first `change note`_ I wrote says:

    Needed a bug tracking system. Looked around. Tried to install many Perl-based systems, to no avail.
    Got tired of waiting for Roundup to be released. Had just finished major product project, so needed
    something different for a while. Roundup here I come...
