Supported Content-types and Accept Headers

The following table specifies the content-type available for the HTTP methods:

HTTP Method	Content-types	Accept Headers
GET	`application/x-www-form-urlencoded`	`application/json` `application/xml or text/xml` `multipart/form-data or multipart/mixed`
POST	`application/json` `application/xml or text/xml` `multipart/form-data or multipart/mixed` `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`	`application/json` `application/xml or text/xml` `multipart/form-data or multipart/mixed`
PUT	`application/json` `application/xml or text/xml` `multipart/form-data or multipart/mixed` `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`	`application/json` `application/xml or text/xml` `multipart/form-data or multipart/mixed`
DELETE	`application/x-www-form-urlencoded`	`application/json` `application/xml or text/xml` `multipart/form-data or multipart/mixed`

Note: If a content-type is not specified, then the request verifies the value of the Set Media Type parameter. If the value of the Set Media Type parameter is not defined, then by default, for POST and PUT HTTP methods, the application/json content-type is used. Whereas for GET and DELETE HTTP methods, the application/x-www-form-urlencoded content-type is used.
