• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWF_HTTP131 - The MIME type '&1' is not supported ?

  The SAP error message SWF_HTTP131 indicates that there is an issue with the MIME type being used in a web application or service. This error typically occurs when the system encounters a MIME type that it does not recognize or support. MIME types are used to specify the nature and format of a file, and if the type is not supported, the application may fail to process the request correctly.
  Cause:
  
  Unsupported MIME Type: The MIME type specified in the request is not recognized by the SAP system. This can happen if the MIME type is incorrectly defined or if it is a custom type that has not been registered in the system.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the SAP system that prevent it from recognizing certain MIME types.
  File Type Issues: The file being requested may not be of the expected type, or it may be corrupted.

  Check MIME Type: Verify the MIME type being used in the request. Ensure that it is a standard MIME type that is supported by SAP. Common MIME types include:
  
  text/html
  application/json
  image/jpeg

  Register Custom MIME Types: If you are using a custom MIME type, you may need to register it in the SAP system. This can typically be done through transaction code SICF (Internet Communication Framework) or SE80 (Object Navigator) where you can define and manage MIME types.
  
  
  Update Configuration: If the MIME type is correct but still not recognized, check the configuration settings in the SAP system. Ensure that the necessary services and settings are enabled to handle the specific MIME type.
  
  
  Check File Integrity: If the error occurs when trying to access a specific file, ensure that the file is not corrupted and is of the expected type.
