setting content type in rest assured

Question

I\'m trying to invoke a rest call using rest assured. My API accepts, \"application/json\" as content type and I need to set in the call. I set the content type

Answer 1

I faced similar issue while working with rest-assured 2.7 version. I tried setting both the contentType and also accept to application/json but it didn't work. Adding carriage feed and new line characters at the end as the following worked for me.

RestAssured.given().contentType("application/json\r\n")

The API seems to be missing to add new line characters after Content-Type header due to which the server is not able to differentiate between the media type and the rest of the request content and hence throwing the error 415 - "Unsupported media type".
