Hi folks

Thanks to @texnixe I was able to route the pattern `apitest` to `/home.json`, which is a simple JSON representation of my home site. The routing is as follows:

```
[
    'pattern' => 'apitest',
    'action' => function () {
        return page('home')->render([], 'json');
    }
],

```

The routing itself work, but the HTTP Content-Type of the response is set to `text/html` instead of `application/json`. I also tried to manually add the header with `Header::contentType('application/json', 'UTF-8', true);` and `header('Content-type: application/json');` but with no luck.

If I access the JSON representation without route at `/home.json`, the Content-Type of the response is correctly set to `application/json`.

Any ideas? Or maybe a bug?

Best,

Stefan

You can send a response like this with type and header (not quite sure how to use this in conjunction with the `$page->render()` function):

```auto
$kirby
    ->response()
    ->code(202)
    ->type('rss')
    ->header('x-foo', 'bar');

```
