I am trying to call the Vector tile search API using the new v8 .NET client but receiving an exception. Specifically 8.9.2 as of writing. I understand it doesn't have official support in the client, but it appears I should be able to call it via a low level call. The exception info I am receiving is this: ```auto Unsuccessful (200) low level call on GET: /jarrod-development/_mvt/Geometry/1/1/1 Exception: Request failed to execute. Call: Status code 200 from: GET /jarrod-development/_mvt/Geometry/1/1/1 ``` ```auto # Request: ``` My code looks like this: ```auto var path = $"/jarrod-development/_mvt/Geometry/{dto.Zoom}/{dto.X}/{dto.Y}"; var results = await _elasticClient.Transport.RequestAsync(HttpMethod.GET, path, cancellationToken: ct); ``` Where "Geometry" is the geo field name on my document. I have tried the following options: Changing the HttpMethod to POST Changing the return type to `BytesResponse` Disabling direct streaming when creating the Client, `settings.DisableDirectStreaming();` Not using debug mode, ie. `settings.EnableDebugMode();` I thought my URL/path may be wrong, but if I run this manually in the Elastic Cloud console I receive a result: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/8/08d6e1710275387ed364e9c8e223458b2a5dad79.png) Assistance appreciated, thanks ---

Hi! Could you please post the request and response JSON strings (you find them in the `exception.ApiCallDetails` object; direct streaming needs to be disabled). For me it seems like the call itself succeeded (200 response), but something went wrong afterwards. ---

@flobernd Thanks for your reply! I can not see a request property but there is a response: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/3/b/3bea3d0d34c05a42bf1c62f878192ba8cda90334.png) The response is in bytes, which I would expect if it's returning a binary Mapbox vector tile. But I notice `HasExpectedContentType` is false. Could my `RequestAsync` argument be incorrect? I have tried both BytesResponse and DynamicResponse. ---

I think we are on the right track 🙂 You can provide the expected MIME type like this: ```csharp var results = await client.Transport.RequestAsync(Elastic.Transport.HttpMethod.GET, path, cancellationToken: ct, requestParameters: new DefaultRequestParameters { RequestConfiguration = new RequestConfiguration { Accept = "application/vnd.mapbox-vector-tile" } }); ``` ---

That worked, I am now exception free! Thanks I am now having some trouble getting MapLibre to use the data, but I will probably open a new post for that. MapLibre error: ```auto q {status: 406, statusText: 'Not Acceptable', url: 'http://myUrl?zoom=2&x=0&y=1', body: Blob, message: 'AJAXError: Not Acceptable (406): http://myUrl?zoom=2&x=0&y=1'} ``` ---

I was able to resolve my data output issue. It was caused by the server. I had the response wrapped in an `Ok(result.Body)` Action Result. Returning the `BytesResponse` in a `FileContentResult` resolved this issue. Example: ```auto var result = await _queryHandler.VectorMapQuery(zoom, x, y, ct); HttpContext.Response.Headers.Add("Content-Type", "application/vnd.mapbox-vector-tile"); return File(result.Body, "application/vnd.mapbox-vector-tile"); ``` ---
