How to switch cherrypy.tools.json_out() off for one method in class?

I have a CherryPy service replying with json responses. For this I've implemented the @cherrypy.tools.json_out() decorator at the top of my class.

I now have one method in the class that needs to respond with an image. The method sets the cherrypy.response.headers['Content-Type']corresponding to the image mime-type. It doesn't work if the tools.json_out() decorator is in my code. Without the decorator it works (but than I need to implement all my other methods differently).

I tried setting the tools.json_out() off in the config of CherryPy with a decorator on the method, but that doesn't overrule it. What is the problem with my approach?

Thank you for any pointers.

I think I found it... Sorry for posting too soon.

I actually added the decorator overruling @cherrypy.config(**{'tools.json_out.on': False}) in the wrong place first.

It needed to be placed in front off the other decorators of the method (@myservice.expose in my code) . Now it works.

Hope this info will help somebody else in the future.
