    Simplifier just locks all other Content-Types out with its “postFormat”

    How do I really declare the Content-Type to all possible MIME Types?

    See here:
    MIME_types/Common_types

    postFormat currently only allows 4 different MIME types out of 72. Thats 5%.

    Is there a way to override those 4 fixed Content-Types with any of the remaining 68?

    Hi Christoph, hi Alex,

    starting with Simplifier 8 EHP 1 it is now possible to set the content-type in the header params and overwirte the default used content-type by postFormat

     

    Kind regards,

    Andreas

    Hey Alex,

    As I also replied in this thread: https://community.simplifier.io/forums/topic/rest-postbody-with-postformat-xml/, the REST Connector currently cannot cover all options for the mime types.

    In these cases, we have to work with client-side XHR / ajax calls. If you want, you can leave a feature idea on our feature request portal: https://ideas.simplifier.io/ideas

    Hi Jennifer,

    I have the same problem like Alex. I have to make a REST request with content-type “text/html”. A client-side ajax call is not an option, because the client shouldn’t have the sensible REST-API credentials. You also might get in trouble with CORS policy.

    I saw that it is possible to set custom request headers. Why can’t this headers overwrite the default headers? Why is Simplifier making such a simple thing so hard?
