[PATCH] request.format should be equal to symbol

Reported by: bscofield Assigned to: core
Priority: normal Milestone: 2.x
Component: ActionPack Version: edge
Severity: normal Keywords: mimetype format

Description

Currently, you can assign request.format a mime type via that type's symbol. E.g., 

request.format = :iphone

You can't, however, determine the mime type of the format with the symbol. That is, the assertion in this code would fail were it in a test: 

request.format = :iphone
assert_equal :iphone, request.format

The included patch (with test) remedies this by allowing either the string or the symbol representation of a mime type to be used in equality testing.
