The 406 Not Acceptable status code indicates that the target resource does not
|
|
have a current representation that would be acceptable to the user agent,
|
|
according to the proactive negotiation header fields received in the request
|
|
([RFC7231 Section 5.3][2]), and the server is unwilling to supply a default
|
|
representation.
|
|
|
|
The server SHOULD generate a payload containing a list of available
|
|
representation characteristics and corresponding resource identifiers from which
|
|
the user or user agent can choose the one most appropriate. A user agent MAY
|
|
automatically select the most appropriate choice from that list. However, this
|
|
specification does not define any standard for such automatic selection, as
|
|
described in [RFC7231 Section 6.4.1][3].
