Now I remember exactly what my problem was: I declared my @ProduceMime
to only generate 'application/xml' because that's all I return from my
resources. And my clients only accept 'application/xml'. Now when I
threw an exception, the mime type was 'text/plain' and the client could
not accept it, so I needed to include 'text/plain' in my @ProduceMime
(because if I throw exceptions which generate plain text responses, I do
produce text/plain) and let my clients accept it too.
Not very important ;)
