Thank you!

The "Content-Type: application/json" header did not work, but the "Accept" did. Do you know why that is? I thought the "Media Type" field was for adding just that... (And it works for the basic request - the one generating the intended response; but does not for the error response...)

    Accept head tell the API service that the client wants the response in the given format.
