Original code supported setting accept type to json (or other

supported type) by including an extension in the url. So
.../issue.json would return json and .../issue.xml would return xml
response (if xml response were supported). This code strips the
extension from the uri one it has been processed.

 - Patches to new rest code:
    - Generated links in responses should use the base url specified
      in config.ini.
+   - allow user (e.g. in browser) to override response type/Accept
+     header using extension in url. E.G. .../issues.json. This fixes
+     the existing code so it works.

 - issue2550833: the export_csv web action now returns labels/names
   rather than id's. Replace calls to export_csv with the export_csv_id
