Creating a contact

1

Hi James,

Your code needs to set an Accept http header with a value
of application/json or application/xml to declare the format in which it
would like responses to be sent. I imagine that should be set where the
user agent is set:

array(‘User-Agent’ => ‘Fantrac’, ‘Accept’ => ‘application/json’)

Kind regards,
