jQuery POST: setting Content-Type to be text/plain

jquery

Solution

You are missing a comma after your `data` property in the ajax call, and `contentType: 'text/plain'`

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "https://localhost:8090/message",
    data: 'this is a message', // <-- Put comma here
    contentType: 'text/plain'
})

Problem

I can't figure out why this isn't working. On the server, I have this: ``` @app.route('/message', methods=['POST']) def print_post(): if request.headers['Content-Type'] == 'text/plain': logging.warning(request.data) return "Text Message: " + request.data else: logging.warning('didnt work') return 'Unsupported Media Type' ``` I'm sending this request through the browser: ``` $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "https://localhost:8090/message", data: 'this is a message' contentType: 'test/plain' }) ``` But I keep getting the error `Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier` What am I doing wrong?
