CherryPy should at least provide a function in lib/cptools.py which returns the values of an Accept request header in a dict. The other headers, such as Accept-Encoding, Accept-Language, etc would need further discussion, although a filter is probably the answer to all of them.

Fixed in [774]. New cptools.getAccept(headername) function, which returns a list of AcceptValue? objects, sorted in descending priority order. Each AcceptValue? object has a qvalue attribute (the priority from 0.0 to 1.0). Each AcceptValue? object also possesses a "params" attribute, a dict; it will only be populated if 'headername' is 'Accept' (in which case the "q" param may itself be an AcceptValue? with params). The other Accept-* headers don't allow params other than the initial "q" param (the qvalue).
