Error 415
The 415 Unsupported Media Type
status code indicates that the server refuses to process the request because the format of the payload is not supported. One way to identify and fix this issue would be to look at the Content-Type
or Content-Encoding
headers sent in the client's request.
For more details, refer to RFC 7231 ↗.
This may be triggered by submitting a file type or format that the server is not configured to handle, such as uploading an unsupported image or document format, may also trigger this error.
Cloudflare typically passes this response from the origin server if it encounters an unsupported media type in the client's request payload.
