Documentation misleading: req.accepts() does not return a boolean #957
Description
The implementation of req.accepts(type) actually returns a type string, not a boolean like the docs seem to indicate. I'm wondering if the behavior changed at some point and the documentation was just never updated to reflect that?
FWIW, the express docs seem better from this perspective: http://expressjs.com/api.html#req.accepts

Looks like the documentation is indeed out of date. We'll fix that up as soon as we can. Thanks!

I'm uncertain if the documentation or implementation is broke...
I did some tests and things seem worrying.

Can anyone confirm the desired behaviour ?
I could try to do a pull request after some further investigation...
