}What is HTTP 415 Unsupported Media Type?
HTTP 415 Unsupported Media Type indicates that the server cannot or will not process the request due to something that is perceived to be a client error. This could be malformed request syntax, invalid request message framing, or deceptive request routing.
The client should not repeat the request without modifications.
When Does This Happen?
A 415 Unsupported Media Type response is returned when:
- The request has invalid syntax or malformed request parameters
- Required parameters are missing from the request
- The request body contains invalid JSON or XML
- Query parameters have invalid values or formats
- The request URL is malformed or contains invalid characters
- Request headers contain invalid or conflicting values

🛡️ Error Handling
Ensure your application properly catches and handles bad request errors without crashing.
📝 Form Validation
Test form validation logic and ensure users receive clear feedback about invalid submissions.
🔄 API Testing
Verify that your API correctly validates request parameters and returns appropriate error responses.
🎨 UI/UX Development
Design and test error states in your user interface for invalid requests.
📚 Documentation
Provide examples of bad request scenarios in API documentation for developers.
