xmlhttprequest responsetext coming for Accept header: text/xml , but server error for application/JS
- by encryptor
I have to get response text from a resourceindex page as JSON object. When I dont put a Accept header in the request, it shows me the xml response (i see it in an alert)..
But I want the response as a JSON object.. What should I do. One solution would have been
httpRequest.setRequestHeader('Accept', 'application/JSON');
but this gives me a server error :500
Also it says
A message body writer for Java type, class ...., and MIME media type, application/octet-stream, was not found
Can someone suggest on what to do to overcome this and get the response as JSON?
