Re: Content negotiation negotiation

Hmmm. 

So, taking a look at these three URLs, can you tell me
a) which of these support content negotiation, and b) what formats
they provide. 

http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/fi4041004
http://dx.doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.527932
http://dx.doi.org/10.1000/182

I tried vapor -- it seems to work by probing with application/rdf+xml,
but it appears to work by probing. I can't find any of the headers
mentioned either, although perhaps I am looking wrongly.
