The response headers are response messages from the REST API server to REST API clients.
The following table describes the response headers returned by the REST API server.
Header |
Description |
---|---|
Content-Type |
Indicates the media type of the response data. Default: application/json;charset=UTF-8 |
Content-Length |
Indicates the size of the response data. If the size of the response data is large, instead of this header, Transfer-Encoding: chunked is returned, indicating that the response data has been divided and then transferred. |
Transfer-Encoding |
Indicates the encoding format used when the response data was transferred. When a large amount of response data is divided and then transferred, chunked is returned. |
Retry-After |
Indicates the recommended wait time (in seconds) before the request can be retried. When the HTTP status code 503 is returned, this header is sometimes set. |
WWW-Authenticate |
Indicates that authentication is required when the HTTP status code 401 is returned. |
