Description

If I do a OData request passing Accept: application/json

I get the result properly as JSON.

I send Accept:application/json;odata=minimalmetadata;q=1.0

I get a HTTP 406 error.

I send Accept: application/json;odata=minimalmetadata;q=1.0,application/atomsvc+xml;q=0.8,application/atom+xml;q=0.8,application/xml;q=0.7,text/plain;q=0.7

Then I get data back as XML (presumably because we don't support minimalmetadata for JSON), but the content type is application/json;odata=minimalmetadata.

I found this issue while trying to use Excel to call an OData service, so these are Accept headers Excel construct.
