GetFeatureInfo returns text response when the format is not recognize, shouldn't it return an exception instead?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-1924
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-1924
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: WMS
    Affects Versions: 1.6.3
            Reporter: Andrea Aime
            Assignee: Andrea Aime
             Fix For: 1.6.4

The following request against sample data:

http://geo.openplans.org:8080/geoserver/wms?bbox=-130,24,-66,50&styles=population&format=jpeg&info_format=application/vnd.ogc.se_xml&request=GetFeatureInfo&layers=topp:states&query_layers=topp:states&width=550&height=250&x=170&y=160

returns a text result, but the format "application/vnd.ogc.se_xml" is not valid, it should be "application/vnd.ogc.gml" instead. Usually OGC services do report a an exception with the proper code the wrong param in the locator. Double check the spec and then fix.
