I wanted to creat an httpClient which gets png images bur when I set the content type it throws: Header Content-Type is controlled by the engine, any idea?

Why do you want to set the content type of the request body if you want to GET an image ?

[coder82]

indeed I need to set the accept one right?

I dont think so. Pretty sure most servers will send you without an accept header.

Hi @coder82, you can set ContentType for outgoing content. Consider using Accept header for your requests: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Accept
