Why do I get this error "content-type of request should be application/json", because I encoded it application/json?
How to correct it?
In Postman the request is working fine.
int id = 208;
MediaType JsonType = MediaType.parse("application/json");
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
String jsonBody = "{\"params\":[\"wandelnet\"," + id + "]}";
RequestBody body = RequestBody.create(jsonBody, JsonType);
Request request = new Request.Builder()
.url( "https://wandelnet.api.routemaker.nl/routemaker/getPublishedRoute")
.post(body)
.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8")
.addHeader( "Accept", "application/json")
.build();
Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();
The result is:
{"result":null,"error":{"code":"sherpaBadRequest","message":"content-type
of request should be application/json"}}
>Solution :
Try creating the request body from bytes, not from a string:
RequestBody body = RequestBody.create(jsonBody.getBytes(“UTF-8”), JsonType);
OkHttp automatically adds a charset when it does string encoding, and we need to prevent this here.
You’ll also want to omit the Content-Type header in your request builder.
