- The ``json`` renderer failed to set the response content type to

  ``application/json``.  It now does, by setting
  ``request.response_content_type`` unless this attribute is already
  set.

- The ``string`` renderer failed to set the response content type to
  ``text/plain``.  It now does, by setting
  ``request.response_content_type`` unless this attribute is already
  set.
