Hi,

Hi,

My request is [POST] [http://localhost:8200/intake/v2/rum/events](http://localhost:8200/intake/v2/rum/events) and my body i follow this example ([Example Request Body | APM Server Reference [7.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/server/current/example-intake-events.html)) but my response it's:

```auto
{
    "accepted": 0,
    "errors": [
        {
            "message": "invalid content type: 'application/json'"
        }
    ]
}

```

@Victor_Nunes Most requests I've seen to APM Server require a content-type header of `application/x-ndjson`, not the (presumably default) of `application/json`. I'm not familiar with Postman the HTTP Client, but [this page](https://learning.postman.com/docs/sending-requests/requests/) makes it sound like you should be able to set a custom `Content-Type`. Give that a try and let us know how it goes.
