AFJSONRequestOperation failing because webservice returns JSON with content type text/html

Question

I am trying to update my app to use AFNetworking but the webservice I need to work with returns JSON as text/html which is breaking when I try and use AFJSONRequestOperation: ``` Expected content type {( "text/json", "application/json", "text/javascript" )}, got text/html ``` Is there anyway to override this in AFNetworking so I can accept the text/html?

Accepted Answer

Yes it is possible, AFNetworking supports adding acceptable content types. In the init method of your AFHTTPClient subclass do the following:

```
[AFJSONRequestOperation addAcceptableContentTypes:[NSSet setWithObjects:@"text/html", nil]];
```

I have had the same problem with my app and this made it work.
