Put content in HttpResponseMessage object?

Question

Answer 1

Apparently the new way to do it is detailed here:

To quote Henrik,

HttpResponseMessage response = new HttpResponseMessage();

response.Content = new ObjectContent(T, myFormatter, "application/some-format");

So basically, one has to create a ObjectContent type, which apparently can be returned as an HttpContent object.
