500 http error : Header Error for 'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=utf-8' | Expected 'Content-Type': 'application/json'

  • 1.  500 http error : Header Error for 'Content-Type': 'application/json;charset=utf-8' | Expected 'Content-Type': 'application/json'

    Posted Thu February 25, 2021 04:59 PM

    Hello Team,

    We have an issue with one of the application, where it is expecting header Content-Type  as "application/json" where as application team is receiving it as "application/json;charset=UTF-8" when there is a POST for applciaiton rest services.

    Is there any way if we can override/replace  Content-Type header when method is post and content type is "application/json;charset=UTF-8" (ignore case) to "application/json" from ISAM end? If yes, Please advise!

    Thanks in advance,
    Kishore

    Kishore,


    Are you saying that ISAM is changing the content-type header and causing application break?
    Or are you saying that client is sending incorrect content-type header and you want ISAM to change it as it flows through?

    If you want ISAM to change a header, this should be possible using transformation rules.  This presentation should help:
