415 Unsupported Media Type: Pickoala

415Unsupported Media Type PickoalaPicky EaterEw! Not eating that! Check what I like.

What it means

The server doesn’t support this data format.

Where you meet it

XML instead of JSON, a wrong Content-Type.

What to test

  • In Postman, send a valid JSON body with Content-Type: text/plain (or with no Content-Type) → status 415, not 500.
  • Send the same data as XML or form-data to an endpoint that only takes JSON → status 415 with a message saying which format is expected.
