    # Without web-service support, an action which collects the data for displaying a list of people
    # might look something like this:
    #
    #   def index
    #     @people = Person.all
    #   end
    #
    # Here's the same action, with web-service support baked in:
    #
    #   def index
    #     @people = Person.all
    #
    #     respond_to do |format|
    #       format.html
    #       format.xml { render xml: @people }
    #     end
    #   end
    #
    # What that says is, "if the client wants HTML in response to this action, just respond as we
    # would have before, but if the client wants XML, return them the list of people in XML format."
    # (Rails determines the desired response format from the HTTP Accept header submitted by the client.)
    #
    # Supposing you have an action that adds a new person, optionally creating their company
    # (by name) if it does not already exist, without web-services, it might look like this:
    #
    #   def create
    #     @company = Company.find_or_create_by(name: params[:company][:name])
    #     @person  = @company.people.create(params[:person])
    #
    #     redirect_to(person_list_url)
    #   end
    #
    # Here's the same action, with web-service support baked in:
    #
    #   def create
    #     company  = params[:person].delete(:company)
    #     @company = Company.find_or_create_by(name: company[:name])
    #     @person  = @company.people.create(params[:person])
    #
    #     respond_to do |format|
    #       format.html { redirect_to(person_list_url) }
    #       format.js
    #       format.xml  { render xml: @person.to_xml(include: @company) }
    #     end
    #   end
    #
    # If the client wants HTML, we just redirect them back to the person list. If they want JavaScript,
    # then it is an Ajax request and we render the JavaScript template associated with this action.
    # Lastly, if the client wants XML, we render the created person as XML, but with a twist: we also
    # include the person's company in the rendered XML, so you get something like this:
    #
    #   <person>
    #     <id>...</id>
    #     ...
    #     <company>
    #       <id>...</id>
    #       <name>...</name>
    #       ...
    #     </company>
    #   </person>
    #
    # Note, however, the extra bit at the top of that action:
    #
    #   company  = params[:person].delete(:company)
    #   @company = Company.find_or_create_by(name: company[:name])
    #
    # This is because the incoming XML document (if a web-service request is in process) can only contain a
    # single root-node. So, we have to rearrange things so that the request looks like this (url-encoded):
    #
    #   person[name]=...&person[company][name]=...&...
    #
    # And, like this (xml-encoded):
    #
    #   <person>
    #     <name>...</name>
    #     <company>
    #       <name>...</name>
    #     </company>
    #   </person>
    #
    # In other words, we make the request so that it operates on a single entity's person. Then, in the action,
    # we extract the company data from the request, find or create the company, and then create the new person
    # with the remaining data.
    #
    # Note that you can define your own XML parameter parser which would allow you to describe multiple entities
    # in a single request (i.e., by wrapping them all in a single root node), but if you just go with the flow
    # and accept Rails' defaults, life will be much easier.
    #
    # If you need to use a MIME type which isn't supported by default, you can register your own handlers in
    # config/initializers/mime_types.rb as follows.
    #
    #   Mime::Type.register "image/jpg", :jpg
    #
    # Respond to also allows you to specify a common block for different formats by using any:
    #
    #   def index
    #     @people = Person.all
    #
    #     respond_to do |format|
    #       format.html
    #       format.any(:xml, :json) { render request.format.to_sym => @people }
    #     end
    #   end
    #
    # In the example above, if the format is xml, it will render:
    #
    #   render xml: @people
    #
    # Or if the format is json:
    #
    #   render json: @people
    #
    # Since this is a common pattern, you can use the class method respond_to
    # with the respond_with method to have the same results:
    #
    #   class PeopleController < ApplicationController
    #     respond_to :html, :xml, :json
    #
    #     def index
    #       @people = Person.all
    #       respond_with(@people)
    #     end
    #   end
    #
    # Formats can have different variants.
    #
    # The request variant is a specialization of the request format, like <tt>:tablet</tt>,
    # <tt>:phone</tt>, or <tt>:desktop</tt>.
    #
    # We often want to render different html/json/xml templates for phones,
    # tablets, and desktop browsers. Variants make it easy.
    #
    # You can set the variant in a +before_action+:
    #
    #   request.variant = :tablet if request.user_agent =~ /iPad/
    #
    # Respond to variants in the action just like you respond to formats:
    #
    #   respond_to do |format|
    #     format.html do |variant|
    #       variant.tablet # renders app/views/projects/show.html+tablet.erb
    #       variant.phone { extra_setup; render ... }
    #       variant.none  { special_setup } # executed only if there is no variant set
    #     end
    #   end
    #
    # Provide separate templates for each format and variant:
    #
    #   app/views/projects/show.html.erb
    #   app/views/projects/show.html+tablet.erb
    #   app/views/projects/show.html+phone.erb
    #
    # When you're not sharing any code within the format, you can simplify defining variants
    # using the inline syntax:
    #
    #   respond_to do |format|
    #     format.js         { render "trash" }
    #     format.html.phone { redirect_to progress_path }
    #     format.html.none  { render "trash" }
    #   end
    # 
    # Variants also support common `any`/`all` block that formats have.
    #
    # It works for both inline:
    #
    #   respond_to do |format|
    #     format.html.any   { render text: "any"   }
    #     format.html.phone { render text: "phone" }
    #   end
    #
    # and block syntax:
    #
    #   respond_to do |format|
    #     format.html do |variant|
    #       variant.any(:tablet, :phablet){ render text: "any" }
    #       variant.phone { render text: "phone" }
    #     end
    #   end
    #
    # Be sure to check the documentation of +respond_with+ and
    # <tt>ActionController::MimeResponds.respond_to</tt> for more examples.
    def respond_to(*mimes, &block)
      raise ArgumentError, "respond_to takes either types or a block, never both" if mimes.any? && block_given?

      if collector = retrieve_collector_from_mimes(mimes, &block)
        response = collector.response
        response ? response.call : render({})
      end
    end

    # For a given controller action, respond_with generates an appropriate
    # response based on the mime-type requested by the client.
    #
    # If the method is called with just a resource, as in this example -
    #
    #   class PeopleController < ApplicationController
    #     respond_to :html, :xml, :json
    #
    #     def index
    #       @people = Person.all
    #       respond_with @people
    #     end
    #   end
    #
    # then the mime-type of the response is typically selected based on the
    # request's Accept header and the set of available formats declared
    # by previous calls to the controller's class method +respond_to+. Alternatively
    # the mime-type can be selected by explicitly setting <tt>request.format</tt> in
    # the controller.
    #
    # If an acceptable format is not identified, the application returns a
    # '406 - not acceptable' status. Otherwise, the default response is to render
    # a template named after the current action and the selected format,
    # e.g. <tt>index.html.erb</tt>. If no template is available, the behavior
    # depends on the selected format:
    #
    # * for an html response - if the request method is +get+, an exception
    #   is raised but for other requests such as +post+ the response
    #   depends on whether the resource has any validation errors (i.e.
    #   assuming that an attempt has been made to save the resource,
    #   e.g. by a +create+ action) -
    #   1. If there are no errors, i.e. the resource
    #      was saved successfully, the response +redirect+'s to the resource
    #      i.e. its +show+ action.
    #   2. If there are validation errors, the response
    #      renders a default action, which is <tt>:new</tt> for a
    #      +post+ request or <tt>:edit</tt> for +patch+ or +put+.
    #   Thus an example like this -
    #
    #     respond_to :html, :xml
    #
    #     def create
    #       @user = User.new(params[:user])
    #       flash[:notice] = 'User was successfully created.' if @user.save
    #       respond_with(@user)
    #     end
    #
    #   is equivalent, in the absence of <tt>create.html.erb</tt>, to -
    #
    #     def create
    #       @user = User.new(params[:user])
    #       respond_to do |format|
    #         if @user.save
    #           flash[:notice] = 'User was successfully created.'
    #           format.html { redirect_to(@user) }
    #           format.xml { render xml: @user }
    #         else
    #           format.html { render action: "new" }
    #           format.xml { render xml: @user }
    #         end
    #       end
    #     end
    #
    # * for a javascript request - if the template isn't found, an exception is
    #   raised.
    # * for other requests - i.e. data formats such as xml, json, csv etc, if
    #   the resource passed to +respond_with+ responds to <code>to_<format></code>,
    #   the method attempts to render the resource in the requested format
    #   directly, e.g. for an xml request, the response is equivalent to calling
    #   <code>render xml: resource</code>.
    #
    # === Nested resources
    #
    # As outlined above, the +resources+ argument passed to +respond_with+
    # can play two roles. It can be used to generate the redirect url
    # for successful html requests (e.g. for +create+ actions when
    # no template exists), while for formats other than html and javascript
    # it is the object that gets rendered, by being converted directly to the
    # required format (again assuming no template exists).
    #
    # For redirecting successful html requests, +respond_with+ also supports
    # the use of nested resources, which are supplied in the same way as
    # in <code>form_for</code> and <code>polymorphic_url</code>. For example -
    #
    #   def create
    #     @project = Project.find(params[:project_id])
    #     @task = @project.comments.build(params[:task])
    #     flash[:notice] = 'Task was successfully created.' if @task.save
    #     respond_with(@project, @task)
    #   end
    #
    # This would cause +respond_with+ to redirect to <code>project_task_url</code>
    # instead of <code>task_url</code>. For request formats other than html or
    # javascript, if multiple resources are passed in this way, it is the last
    # one specified that is rendered.
    #
    # === Customizing response behavior
    #
    # Like +respond_to+, +respond_with+ may also be called with a block that
    # can be used to overwrite any of the default responses, e.g. -
    #
    #   def create
    #     @user = User.new(params[:user])
    #     flash[:notice] = "User was successfully created." if @user.save
    #
    #     respond_with(@user) do |format|
    #       format.html { render }
    #     end
    #   end
    #
    # The argument passed to the block is an ActionController::MimeResponds::Collector
    # object which stores the responses for the formats defined within the
    # block. Note that formats with responses defined explicitly in this way
    # do not have to first be declared using the class method +respond_to+.
    #
    # Also, a hash passed to +respond_with+ immediately after the specified
    # resource(s) is interpreted as a set of options relevant to all
    # formats. Any option accepted by +render+ can be used, e.g.
    #   respond_with @people, status: 200
    # However, note that these options are ignored after an unsuccessful attempt
    # to save a resource, e.g. when automatically rendering <tt>:new</tt>
    # after a post request.
    #
    # Two additional options are relevant specifically to +respond_with+ -
    # 1. <tt>:location</tt> - overwrites the default redirect location used after
    #    a successful html +post+ request.
    # 2. <tt>:action</tt> - overwrites the default render action used after an
    #    unsuccessful html +post+ request.
