415 Unsupported Media Type for DELETE method

[polpan]

Hi,

How can I change Content-Type : text/plain;charset=UTF-8 to application/json;charset=utf-8 for DELETE method in restangular?

Because when I tried to delete, I am getting 415 Unsupported Media Type for DELETE method.

Regards

Most of the times, that's related with Rails and another framework getting crazy when DELETE has payload.

Try #78 (comment) That should fix your problem

Thanks!

@mgonto I have tried that, however it didn't solve the issue.

I have added as

     RestangularProvider.setRequestInterceptor(function(elem, operation) {
            if (operation === "remove") {
                alert('oj');
                return undefined;
            }
            return elem;
        })

Content Header from browser

Content-Type:text/plain;charset=UTF-8]

[mgonto]

That's weird.

I'd recommend then setting $http headers for DELETE with the needed content type or using setDefaultHeaders from Restangular: https://github.com/mgonto/restangular#setdefaultheaders

Adding the following did help to solve the issue.

RestangularProvider.setDefaultHeaders({'Content-Type': 'application/json'});

Does the above has any repercussions?

Thanks

[mgonto]

All your requests by default will be application/json. That’s the only repercussion

And if I have
RestangularProvider.setDefaultHeaders({'Content-Type': 'application/json'});

Do I need to have the following for PUT method?

  RestangularProvider.setRequestInterceptor(function(elem, operation, what) {
            if (operation === 'put') {
                elem.emp = undefined;
                return elem;
            }
            return elem;
        })

[mgonto]

That’s not necesary. That just sets elem.emp for undefined for no reason

Thanks, one question though, if I would want to set header exclusively for DELETE, I have tried the following

      remove: this.config.withHttpDefaults({method: 'DELETE',
      params: params,
      headers: headers || {'Content-Type' : 'application/json'}}),

But that doesn't have any impact. So is this the correct way or are there any other approach?

Thanks

[mgonto]

If you want to set that header exclusively for delete, I’d recomment setting it to $http instead of Restangular where you can do that
