Don't know if anyone else has come across this oddity, but after
updating to FF 3.5, I could no longer get to the endpoint. It was
returning the RDF description of the store.
After some digging and guessing, I think this is what happened.
I had been using Tabulator to browse data, but when I upgraded to FF
3.5, it said Tabulator isn't compatible with that version. Despite
uninstalling Tabulator, the network settings to accept rdf+xml were
still there. Hence, the endpoint returned rdf.
Going into the FF about:config settings and finding
network.http.accept.default and removing the lines to accept rdf did the
trick.
That's just my guess -- don't want to unfairly blame Tabulator! -- but
in any case, it was in that FF config setting.
Probably a rarity, but I hope this helps somebody,
Patrick
