AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
In NetSuite's SuiteScript, you can't directly set the headers in a RESTlet response. The headers are controlled by NetSuite and you only have control over the body of the response. However, the content type of the response can be influenced by the format of the data you're returning. If you're returning JSON data, you can use
JSON.stringify()
to convert your data to a string format. This will result in a response with a content type of
text/plain
. Here's an example:
Copy code
javascript
return JSON.stringify(results);
In this case, the
JSON.stringify(results)
is converting the
results
object to a string, which will be interpreted as
text/plain
by the client. However, if you're working with a Suitelet, you can set the
Content-Type
header using the
response.setHeader()
method. Here's an example:
Copy code
javascript
var _headerObj = {
    'Authorization': _token,
    'Content-Type': 'application/xml'
};
var response = <http://http.post|http.post>({
    url: ‘target url’,
    body: xmlString,
    headers: _headerObj
});
In this case, the
Content-Type
header is being set to
application/xml
, which will be interpreted by the client as XML data. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
