RESTlet Get Header (Content-Type)

edited Jan 8, 2020 3:30AM in SuiteCloud / Customization 5 comments

So,

This one always confused me ... and not its been a real problem ... until now.   In order to get (no pun intended) a RESTlet GET request to respond with a JSON object, you need to add Content-Type = application/json as a header in the request.  The problem with this is, Content-Type describes what you are 'sending', not what you are expecting in return from the RESTlet.  In reality, it should be, Accept = application/json for GET requests.

However, doing this makes the RESTlet throw an INVALID_RETURN_DATA_FORMAT error (Netsuite saying 'Hey, your script is sending back a JSON, but the request wants TEXT).

Howdy, Stranger!
