Can a HTTP 415 response have body?

As of the title, I am curious if responding with a body of a JSON object that includes errors: [] is spec-compliant.

The spec states that

Servers MUST respond with a 415 Unsupported Media Type status code if a request specifies the header Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json with any media type parameters.

It does not have any details on the body of the response.

Thanks

Yeah, responding with "errors" in the body should be ok! The spec doesn’t mandate exactly what the error’s title, code, etc. should be, so I think you can fill those in with your own values as appropriate (assuming they comply with the general rules for the meaning of those values).

Thanks for the answer.
