Hi luismangahr, pratheeban,

 

I tested the workaround. Please set the header "Accept" to "None" explicitly. It's None in Python. Please try it and give some feedback.

 

headers = {"Authorization": token, "Accept": None}
r = requests.get(get_url, headers = headers)

 

 

 

Best Regards,
Dale

Thanks, v-jiascu-msft, it actually worked! Then, this is a bug, right? In that case, I guess it is identified and to be solved?

 

Just to add, I found that you can set the "Accept" header to "None", "Noffsfne", "j" or any other invalid value. All valid values I quickly tested (e.g.: "application/json", "message/http" or "text/html") ended up in a "400 Bad Request".

 

But again, thank you, because this unblocks our research on the Power BI REST api.

    Thanks for sharing, luismangahr. This issue will be fixed. We can work with the workaround for now.
