What does the Http 415 error message regarding "Unsupported Media type" mean in relation to JSON?

edit

The HTTP 415 error message "Unsupported Media Type" means that the server is unable to process the request because the payload format is not supported. This often happens when a client sends a request with an incorrect or unsupported Content-Type header.

In relation to JSON, the error occurs when the server is expecting a different payload format or when the Content-Type header is not set to "application/json". This error can also occur if the JSON payload is malformed and cannot be parsed by the server.

To fix this error, the client should ensure that the Content-Type header is set to "application/json" and that the JSON payload is properly formatted. The server may need to be configured to accept JSON payloads and set the appropriate content type header.
