When working with Valkey, you might encounter an error message stating Unsupported Media Type. This error typically occurs when making an HTTP request to the Valkey API. The request fails, and the server responds with a status code of 415, indicating that the server refuses to accept the request because the payload format is in an unsupported format.
The VAL-013 error code is specifically associated with the Unsupported Media Type issue in Valkey. This error arises when the Content-Type header in the HTTP request is either missing or set to a value that the Valkey server does not recognize or support. The Content-Type header is crucial as it informs the server about the type of data being sent in the request body.
Content-Type header in the request.Content-Type value.Content-Type.To fix the VAL-013 error, you need to ensure that the Content-Type header is correctly set in your HTTP requests to Valkey. Follow these steps:
Determine the appropriate Content-Type for your request. Common types include:
application/json for JSON data.application/x-www-form-urlencoded for form data.multipart/form-data for file uploads.Refer to the MDN Web Docs for more information on Content-Type headers.
Ensure that your HTTP request includes the correct Content-Type header. For example, if you are sending JSON data, your request should include:
Content-Type: application/json
In a cURL command, this can be set as follows:
curl -X POST https://api.valkey.com/endpoint \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"key":"value"}'
Ensure that the data you are sending matches the specified Content-Type. For JSON data, make sure the payload is properly formatted JSON.
By following these steps, you can resolve the VAL-013 error and ensure that your requests to Valkey are processed successfully. For further assistance, consider visiting the Valkey Support Page for more detailed guidance.
