Hi Erich, I assume you mixed client/server behaviour.
The client fetchtes the data from server. Normally it uses the Accept Header to tell the client which data format will be accepted. The server sends the data with the content-type header. For example: When the client ask for data with: Accept: application/json application/text The server answers with Content-Type: application/json In this case the client knows that the data are json encoded and not xml. When you using a POST request the client sends data. In this case the content-tpye header must be set otherwise the server does not know about the data format and need a method which handles the request. Cheers, Markus > Gesendet: Dienstag, 10.
