I have tried to set the “Accept: application/json” header, but it
didn’t work. all i could get was the “406 Not Acceptable” status code.
Below was the command what i used to make the request:
curl -i -X POST -H “Content-Type: application/json” -H “Accept:
application/json” -d “{ title: "foo", body: "bar" }”
http://127.0.0.1:3000/posts
and here the result:
HTTP/1.1 406 Not Acceptable

if i use http://127.0.0.1:3000/posts.json or
http://127.0.0.1:3000/posts?format=json,
i would get the proper result.
