Re: [basex-talk] Wrong MIME type ...

11 Nov 2021

      I want the query on the server side to specify the Content-Type header for
the response.  I didn't see how to do that from the link you provided.

This seems to work - is there a better way?

declare function as:json-response-headers()

{

  <rest:response>

    <http:response status="404">

      <http:header name="Content-Language" value="el"/>

      <http:header name="Content-Type" value="application/json;
charset=utf-8"/>

    </http:response>

  </rest:response>

};

declare

  %rest:path("/api/abbott-smith/index")

  %rest:GET

  %rest:produces("application/json")

  function as:index()

{

  as:json-response-headers(),

  array { $as:abbott-smith/*:entry ! @lemma ! string() }

  ! serialize(., map {'method' : 'json'})

};

Hi Jonathan,
Have you tried setting the media-type or method parameters to
application/json instead of only the produces parameter, as explained here
[1].

Using RESTXQ in an application for the first time.  I expected this
function to have the MIME type application/json:
declare
  %rest:path("/api/abbott-smith/index")
  %rest:GET
  %rest:produces("application/json")
  function as:index()
{
  array { $as:abbott-smith/*:entry ! @lemma ! string() }
  ! serialize(., map {'method' : 'json'})
};
But both POSTMAN and WADL give me application/xml as the mime type:
<wadl:resource path="/api/abbott-smith/index">
  <wadl:method name="GET">
    <wadl:request/>
    <wadl:response>
    <wadl:representation mediaType="application/xml"/>
    </wadl:response>
  </wadl:method>
</wadl:resource>
What am I doing wrong?
