Http 415 Unsupported Media type error with JSON

A HTTP 415 Unsupported Media Type error means that the server is unable to process the request because the request entity has a media type that the server does not support. In the context of a JSON request, this means that the server is unable to process the JSON payload because it is not able to recognize the media type of the request.

There are a few potential reasons why you might see a HTTP 415 Unsupported Media Type error when sending a JSON request:

1. The Content-Type header is not set correctly: The Content-Type header specifies the media type of the request entity. For a JSON request, the Content-Type header should be set to application/json. If the Content-Type header is not set correctly, the server may not recognize the media type of the request and return a HTTP 415 error.

2. The server does not support the media type specified in the Content-Type header: Even if the Content-Type header is set correctly, the server may still return a HTTP 415 error if it does not support the specified media type.

3. There is a problem with the JSON payload: If the JSON payload is not well-formed or is invalid, the server may return a HTTP 415 error.

To fix a HTTP 415 Unsupported Media Type error, you will need to ensure that the Content-Type header is set correctly and that the JSON payload is well-formed and valid. You may also need to check with the server to ensure that it supports the media type specified in the Content-Type header.
