The bookstore example as it comes out of the box in 1.0.3 and 1.1.2ea
exposes a strange browser discrepancy:

I added a debug statement in the Bookstore.getItem method to print the
Accept header as follows (and this one line is the only change to the
example code):

    @Path("items/{itemid}/")
    public Item getItem(@PathParam("itemid") String itemid, @Context
HttpServletRequest req) {
        System.err.println(req.getHeader("Accept"));
        Item i = getItems().get(itemid);
        if (i == null)
            throw new NotFoundException("Item, " + itemid + ", is not
found");

        return i;
    }

This shows the following results when accessing
http://localhost:8080/bookstore/items/1:

Browser Accept header result
====================================================================
Firefox text/html,
                application/xhtml+xml,
                application/xml;q=0.9,
                */*;q=0.8 HTML
Safari application/xml,
                application/xhtml+xml,
                text/html;q=0.9,
                text/plain;q=0.8,
                image/png,
                */*;q=0.5 HTML
IE */* XML(!)

Is there a known problem with jersey's handling of */* when using implicit
views?
In both versions of the example the resources are annotated with
@ImplicitProduces("text/html;qs=5")

Any ideas?
