Making an http request using axios to a spring backend and getting the following unexpected error. Resolved [org.springframework.web.HttpMediaTypeNotSupportedException: Content type 'application/json;charset=UTF-8' not supported]

Isnt a 415 when the Accept header of the server does not match the Content-Type header of the client?

Response Headers

Vary: Access-Control-Request-Headers

Request Headers

Since they match im not really sure why it would be considered a 415.

const client = axios.create();

client.defaults.headers["Content-Type"] = "application/json"
client.defaults.headers["Access-Control-Allow-Origin"] = "*/*";

export async function savePost(post) {
  return client.post(constants.backend_url + "/posts", post);
}

  • @madteapot I included my axios request in the post. As you can see I didnt add the text/plain, */*. Do you know where it comes from? Commented Apr 20, 2022 at 17:30
