Question

I am implementing spring security with oauth2 and jwt. the below is my login function

function doLogin(loginData) {

    $.ajax({
        url :  back+\"/auth         


        

Answer 1

Http 415 Media Unsupported is responded back only when the content type header you are providing is not supported by the application.

With POSTMAN, the Content-type header you are sending is Content type 'multipart/form-data not application/json. While in the ajax code you are setting it correctly to application/json. Pass the correct Content-type header in POSTMAN and it will work.

Answer 2

You need to set the content-type in postman as JSON (application/json).

Go to the body inside your POST request, there you will find the raw option.

Right next to it, there will be a drop down, select JSON (application.json).

Answer 3

I also got this error .I was using Text inside body after changing to XML(text/xml) , got result as expected.

• If your request is XML Request use XML(text/xml).

• If your request is JSON Request use JSON(application/json)
