Content type :binary, "application/octet-stream" not available

[akabraham]

In your source code (lib/grape/util/content_types.rb) you specify the following content_types:

  :xml,  'application/xml',
  :serializable_hash, 'application/json',
  :json, 'application/json',
  :jsonapi, 'application/vnd.api+json',
  :atom, 'application/atom+xml',
  :rss,  'application/rss+xml',
  :txt,  'text/plain',

Why is there no "application/octet-stream"? It is the preferred content type for binary data.

Could you please add :binary, 'application/octet-stream' to the list here? Thanks

Opened #745 to solve this

You can dynamically add content types.

class API < Grape::API
    content_type :binary, 'application/octet-stream'

    get do
      content_type 'application/octet-stream'
    end
end
