Martin Panter added the comment: The RFC <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#page-39> says “A request without any Accept header field implies that the user agent will accept any media type in response”, which sounds the same as “Accept: */*”. I don’t understand why adding it should make a real difference.
If you really desire only application/json, you should probably include “Accept: application/json” in the request. Otherwise, it would probably be more robust to make your program accept both types. I have come across the same deal with application/atom+xml vs text/xml vs application/xml. ---------- nosy: +vadmium _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22450> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
