How to resolve misused header name error

To resolve the misused header name error in a REST API data source in Bold Reports^®, remove the Content-Type and Content-Length reserved headers from the Header(s) list.

When does the error occur?

The misused header name error in the Bold Reports^® REST API data source occurs when you explicitly pass the Content-Type or Content-Length reserved headers in the Header(s) list.

Why does the error occur?

The Bold Reports^® REST API data source connector already handles the Content-Type and Content-Length request headers based on the Data Format field value. Passing the same values explicitly in the Headers list causes the Misused header name error.

How do I fix the error?

You fix the error in the Bold Reports^® REST API data source by removing the reserved headers and choosing the content type in Data Format.

1. Remove the Content-Type and Content-Length reserved headers from the Header(s) list.

2. Choose the content type in the Data Format field.
