Could we add --xml or --json to add headers needed to call rest api

Could we add --xml or --json to add headers needed to call rest api

--xml must add ==> -H 'Content-Type: application/xml' -H "Accept: application/xml"

--json ==> -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H "Accept: application/json"

Thanks

Very often, those are not actually needed when using rest API even when sending/receiving XML or JSON. But sure, sometimes they are.

Setting Content-Type when doing a GET or any other method without a body would be a bit strange I think.

I think plain --xml and --json are maybe a bit too brief and generic. Maybe --http-json etc? Not sure.

I'm not totally convinced and I will probably not work on this myself any time soon.

Since this is a feature-request, this issue will be closed soon as this is a bug-tracker and this issue is not a bug. If you want to see this feature happen sooner rather than later, a good idea is to start working on it yourself and/or join the mailing list and gather input and interest from other users.
