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.
