Rails does not recognize the "text/*" MIME type
Reported by Roel van der Hoorn | February 21st, 2011 @ 10:36 AM
Some web crawlers use the "text/*" MIME type in the
HTTP ACCEPT header in their request. This makes Rails throw a
MissingTemplate error.
This ticket covers only the part that "text/*"
should return any text type (e.g. text/html,
text/plain). And "image/*" any image type
for that matter.
Note that this issue is not the same as #5113, which covers the MissingTemplate part, instead of returning a 406 (Not Acceptable), if the HTTP ACCEPT header requests only MIME types for which the respond_to block does not have an adequate response.

Agreed, e.g. Bing Bot uses Accept: text/*, and every its request raises ActionView::MissingTemplate exception in our app.
