Hello. The correct way to restrict accepted media types for a client (read: in an HTTP request) is by means of the HTTP header Accept. Please take a look here: http://wiki.restlet.org/docs_2.0/130-restlet.html for Restlet mappings for HTTP headers (that page will tell you the property of which class you have to set/get to manipulate the headers).
In your case, I guess it's something like: Request theRequest = .... theRequest.getClientInfo().getAcceptedMediaTypes().put(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML); // Perform theRequest here Hope this helps.
