Chrome's Advanced REST client: Setting a GET request to "Accept: application/json"

Question

I'm using the Chrome app Advanced REST client, Version 3.1.1.

When I issue a GET request, Advanced Rest Client sets the request header with Accept: */*.

How can I issue a GET request with a request header including Accept: application/json?

This option seems to be provided for POST requests, but not for GET requests.

Solution

Add Accept: application/json in the Raw / Form / Headers field.

Hm, "If your question generally covers [...] browsers and their features relating to the use of a web application (Greasemonkey scripts for a web application, etc.) [...] then you’re in the right place to ask your question!" ... I'm using (not programming) in my question, no?

You aren't asking a question about a Web Application, but about a Chrome extension. Unless you're asking about how this works with a specific Web App...?

Advanced REST client is a Chrome/Chromium extension?

Does adding Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8 change the result?

@harrymc : Wait a second! You gave me a good idea... trying Accept: application/json in the Raw / Form / Headers field... sending request. That works! Thank you! ... feel free to post this as an answer! ( here is a usecase: "get JSON from hibernate-example.cloudfoundry.com/library/books"

It is good that the problem is solved, but the solution is yours to write.
