HTTP 404 when using API with the recommended Accept header

[Jeff]

This has been plaguing me and wondered if I'm doing something wrong.

I'm hitting the GoCD API to schedule a pipeline.  According to the instructions at https://api.go.cd/current/#current-version it states:

However when I include the accept header:

POST https://go.wp.bluecoat.com/go/api/pipelines/mypipeline1/schedule HTTP/1.1

User-Agent: Fiddler

Host: go.wp.bluecoat.com

Confirm: true

Accept: "application/vnd.go.cd.v1+json"

Content-Length: 0

Authorization: Basic c3ZjV2ViUHscUV2VsY29tZTE=

I get the error:

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

If I simply omit the "Accept" header, it works fine.  Am I doing something wrong because it seems that either the document is wrong or there is a bug and it is frustrating.

Thanks!

I should note that I'm using GoCD v.16.3.0.

I suspect it is because of it being an old API and the accept header being newer. Changing the old API to expect the new header will mean a breaking change for everyone. My experience has been that the examples provided in the documentation are correct, and I tend to use that.

Ketan or someone else might have a better idea or thoughts about changing it to optionally accept that header, maybe.

Optional sounds good!  Thanks for the response.
