Class AcceptHeaderBuilder

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.any23.http.AcceptHeaderBuilder

public class AcceptHeaderBuilder
extends Object

Concatenates a collection of MIME specs in "type/subtype;q=x.x" notation into an HTTP Accept header value, and removes duplicates and types covered by wildcards. For example, if the type list contains "text/*;q=0.5", then "text/plain;q=0.1" in the list will be ignored because it's already covered by the wildcard with a higher q value.
