Comment (by duncan):

 Replying to [comment:2 ross]:

 cabal upload can stop ignoring it.

 That'd be great.

 At the moment we're sending `Accept: text/plain` and getting `Content-
 Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1` as a response.

 As a note to whoever wants to do the client-side change in future:

 inspect
 {{{
 [ s | Header HdrContentType s <- rspHeaders resp ]
 }}}
 to see if it starts with `"text/plain"` and if so print the `rspBody resp`
