Hi joanneh as per my understanding, there are some several Content-Type applicable for a service, and the best option to know these in Appian could be as follows:

1. Create am integration object
2. Choose the method as POST
3. Below left side corner (on top of body paragraph field) you can find a drop-down, just explore that, those are the list of Content-Type applicable in Appian to deal with text content(related to text data).
4. However there are some several content-types available to deal with part(media type request) or multipart request (file/media with text content) which includes:
octet-stream etc.. I recommend you to go through Webservice documentation (provided by java, or any third party, such as Apache)

Hope this will help you.

Content type can be json , XML. JSON should be preferable than XML.

Hello,
As per my knowledge the HTTP "Content-Type" has a format which the web service is expecting.
This should server the purpose :

headers: {

a!httpHeader(name: "Content-Type", value: "application/json")
}

Please have a look at the below link for more information...

content type is 'application/json' in web api. json file is general content type to send the file over.it is accessible in any server.better go with json type.
