Hello, this may be a trivial issue but why the json error response from your rest api has a different content-type (“application/\*+json”) comparing to the successful response (“application/json”).

And according to the the following RFC, [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4288#section-4.2](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4288#section-4.2), the wildcard star following the slash seems to be invalid.

Thanks
