Accept
and Content-Type
are important headers in Restful web services. Accept
headers tells web service what kind of response client is accepting, so if a web service is capable of sending response in XML and JSON format. and client sends Accept header as “application/xml” then XML response will be sent. For Accept header “application/json”, server will send the JSON format of response.
Content-Type header is used to tell server what is the format of data being sent in the request. If Content-Type header is “application/xml” then server will try to parse it as XML data. This header is useful in HTTP Post and Put requests.
