HTTP 415 while sending JSON object using POST

Question

import java.io.BufferedReader;    
import java.io.InputStreamReader;    
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;    
import java.net.URL;    
import java.io.DataOutputStream;         


        

Answer 1

The HTTP response code you get is

415 Unsupported Media Type

This means that the server can not handle the format you sent to it. Your HTTP request sets this header:

Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

This is the content type sent by a browser if a form is submitted. If you want to send JSON, use this header:

Content-Type: application/json
