HTTP/1.1 Accept header field

The Accept field is NOT a standard HTTP header field and may not be supported by all clients.

"Accept" is a valid Request Header Field. This means it is valid in the context of a client requesting a resource to the server.

In this case, however, it was send the other way: from the server to the client. Probably just an error from the programmer who didn't read the RFC with enough care.

This header is not used by any known client.


Common Accept header values:

Sample Accept web server response:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
