Disable implicit behaviour for query parameter format

[tu-maurice]

Is there a way to disable implicit behaviour in Mojo involving the query/get parameter format? My use case involves supplying every single get parameter to a query in a backend. That query does involve a field called format that would be supplied to my API as a get parameter. Now when specifying the format parameter Mojo tries to derive something from that although I just want my application to forward that key value pair to the backend.

I've tried to explicitly set the response format as follows, but a request to /search.json?format=html still ends up with a html response instead of a json respone.

  $r->get('/search.json')->to(
    controller => "search",
    action => "search",
    format => "json",
  )->name('search');

  $r->get('/search.html')->to(
    controller => "search",
    action => "search",
    format => "html",
  )->name('search');

I'm afraid not. In retrospect, we probably should have used _format, similar to how we use _method.

Too bad.

We've deprecated ?format=*. eeef1e2...c9588f3
