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<sup>[1](#ref-1)</sup>, 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].
