Layer7 API Management

Do L7 supports the content-type - application/x-www-form-urlencoded ? Can anyone explain me briefly on the possible content types handled in L7 for both  default in-build request and response variable ?

Is there any way to set the above content type?

I have seen the below content types in context variables

application/json; charset=utf-8

application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8

text/plain; charset=utf-8

text/xml; charset=utf-8

Divya,

The gateway allows all content-types to pass through the policies through to back end systems if the message is streamed in and out with only reviewing the HTTP headers. If the policy requires that the message payload be acted against then the gateway by default will recognizes these Content-Types: text, xml, json and form encoded. Additional content-type types that are textual in nature can be added using the Cluster wide property - contentType.otherTextualTypes

Each Content-Type should be on a separate line and may include a charset—for example:

application/custom; charset="UTF-8"

Sincerely,
