[5.2.x] Fixed #36447 -- Selected preferred media type based on quality.

2025-06-16T07:27:46Z

When matching which entry in the `Accept` header should be used for a given media type, the specificity matters. However once those are resolved, only the quality matters when selecting preference. Regression in c075508b4de8edf9db553b409f8a8ed2f26ecead. Thank you to Anders Kaseorg for the report. Backport of 12c1557060fc94fe5e1fbddc4578a4e29d38f77c from main.

[5.2.x] Fixed #36411 -- Made HttpRequest.get_preferred_type() consider media type parameters.

2025-06-03T19:11:38Z

HttpRequest.get_preferred_type() did not account for parameters in Accept header media types (e.g., "text/vcard; version=3.0"). This caused incorrect content negotiation when multiple types differed only by parameters, reducing specificity as per RFC 7231 section 5.3.2 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7231.html#section-5.3.2). This fix updates get_preferred_type() to treat media types with parameters as distinct, allowing more precise and standards-compliant matching. Thanks to magicfelix for the report, and to David Sanders and Sarah Boyce for the reviews. Backport of c075508b4de8edf9db553b409f8a8ed2f26ecead from main.
