Python 请求 HTTP 响应 406

Question

I have my own domain where an json file is stored ( http://example.com/file.json) . When accesing the file in browser using the direct link, the json is returned just fine. But when using the same approach in my python code below, the http response is 406 . Any ideas why?

import requests
url = 'http://example.com/file.json'
r = requests.get(url, headers={"Accept":"text/html"})
print(r.status_code)
print(r.headers)

Prints:

406
{'Server': 'nginx/1.14.1', 'Date': 'Sun, 12 May 2019 16:53:25 GMT', 'Content-Type': 'text/html; charset=iso-8859-1', 'Content-Length': '226', 'Connection': 'k
eep-alive'}

Answer 1

Solved by using a different User-Agent. The default Python User-Agent 'python-requests/2.21.0' was being probably blocked by the hosting company.

r = requests.get(url, headers={"User-Agent": "XY"})

Answer 2

Your own accepted answer is most likely incorrect. This error means the value of Accept header does not match Content-Type of the response. If you'd send Accept: */* , it would work (at least the 406 would not be returned).
