  • What causes this issue?

    The resource identified by the request is only capable of generating
    response entities which have content characteristics not acceptable
    according to the accept headers sent in the request.
    Unless it was a HEAD request, the response SHOULD include an entity
    containing a list of available entity characteristics and location(s)
    from which the user or user agent can choose the one most appropriate.
    The entity format is specified by the media type given in the
    Content-Type header field. Depending upon the format and the
    capabilities of the user agent, selection of the most appropriate choice
    MAY be performed automatically. However, this specification does not
    define any standard for such automatic selection.
    If the response could be unacceptable, a user agent SHOULD temporarily
    stop receipt of more data and query the user for a decision on further
    actions.
