To clarify the difference: - Accept header is used by HTTP clients to tell the server which type of content they expect/prefer as response. - Content-type can be used both by clients and servers to identify the format of the data in their request (client) or response (server) and, therefore, help the other part interpret correctly the information. Since we are the calling client in this case we need to use the accept header to inform the server we want JSON.
