415 Unsupported Media Type

When a server receives a request with a body it doesn’t understand, it should return 415 Unsupported Media Type. Most commonly this is a good response for for example a POST or PUT request with an unknown Content-Type header.

The specification says that aside from inspecting the Content-Type header, the server may also return this after inspecting the body.

What this means is that if the client sent a request with a supported Content-Type, it may still return 415 if the contents of the request body were not supported by the server.

For example, a server might support specific JSON bodies, but the contents of the JSON payload didn’t validate, perhaps because it was missing a required property.

However, for the latter case it might be better to use 422 Unprocessable Entity. The description in the standards for 422 is slightly contradicting with the one for 415, but 422 seems to be more specifically for cases where the Content-Type was correct, the request was parsable, but semantically incorrect.

I would suggest the following approach to deciding the right status code:

  • If the Content-Type was not supported, use 415.
  • Else: If the request was not parsable (broken JSON, XML), use 400 Bad Request.
  • Else: If the request was parsable but the specific contents of the payload were wrong (due to validation or otherwise), use 422

Example

POST /new-article HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: text/html

<h1>Another day, another blog post</h1>
HTTP/1.1 415 Unsupported Media Type
Content-Type: application/json

{"error": "This endpoint only supports text/markdown for new articles"}

Start Fast with These Demo Content Generators

Demo content is probably one of the least talked about items in a designer’s toolbox. Yet, it’s also very useful. While we often see it as a means to populate a mockup or show what a CMS theme is capable of, there are other good uses.

For instance, it can serve as a placeholder during site development – you know, while you wait for the “real” stuff to arrive. This helps you continue to move forward on a project that could otherwise be stalled.

Likewise, demo content can live up to its name by helping you demonstrate various processes. Things like training videos or documentation can use bits and pieces to show users how a certain feature works.

Overall, it’s something that can be quite handy to have around. And there are a number of resources out there to fill your specific needs. Below is a selection some of the coolest demo content generators on the web. Enjoy!

The Web Designer Toolbox
Unlimited Downloads: 500,000+ Web Templates, Themes, Plugins & Design Assets


Web-Based Text Generators

Using generated text is a great way to test out the fit and finish of your design work. For instance, you can see how a template handles exceptionally long passages or even analyze how readable your typography is. This provides you with the information you need to make smart design decisions.

Professional Lorem Ipsum Generator for Typographers

There are a ton of lorem ipsum generators out there. But what makes this one a standout is the number of really useful options it offers. Sure, you can configure the amount of words or paragraphs you need – that’s fairly standard. However, this “Professional” tool also lets you choose between HTML and plain text (which you can copy or download), along with a number of different languages to pick from.

Professional Lorem Ipsum Generator for Typographers

Blind Text Generator

The unique selling-point of Blind Text Generator is that it really focuses on the needs of web designers. For instance, in addition to setting a custom number of words or paragraphs, you can also generate a specific number of characters. This comes in handy when testing form inputs. Also included are a selection of pre-populated HTML tags, which you can then copy and paste into your design. Don’t like the standard lorem ipsum? Choose between different types of texts and languages.

Blind Text Generator

CorporateLorem

While CorporateLorem embraces pure randomness, it also features English language words rather than Latin – a plus for some users. And it couldn’t be easier to use. Hit the refresh button in your browser (or the one provided on the top right corner of the site) and a new filler article will display. If you prefer to use famous movie quotes, they have a tool for that as well.

CorporateLorem

Image Placeholders

When building layouts, using a placeholder allows you to figure out where you want to position images without the hassle of making specific choices. This provides a more unbiased way to show clients your ideas, while encouraging them to imagine what kind of images they’d like to use in that space.

Better Placeholder

If you’re looking for a no-frills temporary image, Better Placeholder is for you. Just enter in your desired image dimensions, update the preview and a barebones image is generated. By default, the dimensions are displayed on the image, which makes for a handy reminder of sizing when swapping them out later on. However, you can also customize that text, as well as the color scheme and file format.

Better Placeholder

Gradient Joy

Who says that placeholders can’t add a splash of color? Gradient Joy offers a library of gradient images that use a number of different color schemes. Note that everything here is hosted remotely and requires that you add a link to an outside URL within your site. The URL structure also allows you to easily resize images to match your size requirements. Plus, the available JSON API can further automate the process.

Gradient Joy

Joe Schmoe

Joe Schmoe is an API that developers can tap into to add fun, illustrated avatar placeholders to their projects. Unlike most generators, this one is actually suggested for use on production sites. You could, for example, use the API to assign consistent, temporary avatars for new users on a membership-based site. There are a number of avatars to choose from, and they can either be called randomly or by name.

Add-Ons and Plugins

When you’re busy, every second counts. That’s where the add-ons and plugins below can help save your precious time by generating content directly within your favorite editor or CMS.

Emmet

Emmet is a plugin that works with a number of popular text editors, including Sublime Text, Dreamweaver, Notepad++ and a whole lot more. And it does a number of things to improve workflow, including the ability to generate lorem ipsum text with impressive ease.

Emmet

FakerPress

If you build your own WordPress themes, you’ll want to ensure that they look pixel-perfect with a wide array of content. FakerPress lets you pick and choose which types of content you want to add to your test site. It can generate random HTML for posts, images (including featured images), user profiles, metadata and a whole lot more. When you’re done, the plugin will even delete the generated content for you.

FakerPress

Any Ipsum

Wouldn’t it be cool to generate your own custom filler text? Any Lipsum is a WordPress plugin that gives you the power to make it happen. Activate the plugin and you’ll be able to add your own custom words via a settings panel. Content can be returned as HTML, JSON or plain text. Command line users will be glad to know that it’s also compatible with WP-CLI.

Any Ipsum

Lipsum Generator

Generating random text can be as simple as one click, thanks to the Lipsum Generator Chrome extension. Settings include the ability to choose from a custom number of paragraphs, sentences or words. You can even set things up so that the generated text is automatically copied to your clipboard.

WordPress 5.1.1 Security and Maintenance Release

WordPress 5.1.1 is now available! This security and maintenance release introduces 10 fixes and enhancements, including changes designed to help hosts prepare users for the minimum PHP version bump coming in 5.2.

This release also includes a pair of security fixes that handle how comments are filtered and then stored in the database. With a maliciously crafted comment, a WordPress post was vulnerable to cross-site scripting.

WordPress versions 5.1 and earlier are affected by these bugs, which are fixed in version 5.1.1. Updated versions of WordPress 5.0 and earlier are also available for any users who have not yet updated to 5.1.

Props to Simon Scannell of RIPS Technologies who discovered this flaw independent of some work that was being done by members of the core security team. Thank you to all of the reporters for privately disclosing the vulnerabilities, which gave us time to fix them before WordPress sites could be attacked.

Other highlights of this release include:

  • Hosts can now offer a button for their users to update PHP.
  • The recommended PHP version used by the “Update PHP” notice can now be filtered.
  • Several minor bug fixes.

You can browse the full list of changes on Trac.

WordPress 5.1.1 was a short-cycle maintenance release. Version 5.1.2 is expected to follow a similar two week release cadence.

Garcinia Cambogia Side Effects Discovered: the WWLR Reviews

Ottawa, ON / April 7, 2014 / Pure Garcinia Cambogia extract is steadily becoming the world’s most popular weight loss supplement. Amongst the excitement people forget to ask themselves, “is it safe and what are the side effects?”

A new report into the safety and performance of Garcinia Cambogia extract published by the WWLR, shows that unless the Garcinia Cambogia ingested is “of superior quality,” there is a likely chance of side effects.

Many Garcinia Cambogia products sold are producing side effects; however, we did see products that showed no sings of side effects, and also succeeded in providing solid weight loss results,” said Mark Nolan of the WWLR. “Much of the results depended on the authenticity of the brand used.”

This inquiry into the safety, and the performance of Garcinia Cambogia extract, was to designed to educate consumers on sourcing, and understanding different mixtures of the product. Access the authentic Garcinia Cambogia extract products that provided safe weight loss here.

Safely Sourcing Garcinia Cambogia Extract.

“Sourcing the right brand of Garcinia Cambogia extract is the majority of the battle in achieving safe weight loss, with this product.” Mark Nolan of WWLR.

– The major concern with the use of some Garcinia Cambogia products is the mixtures used, not Garcinia Cambogia extract itself. Pure Garcinia Cambogia showed no side effects, and side effects only occurred in inferior unnatural Garcinia Cambogia extract products.

– Always use products backed by clinical human trails to assure no side effects, and to achieve weight loss.

Access the safe Garcinia Cambogia extract products used in the WWLR reviews here.

Correlations Found in the WWLR Study

“After reviews of the the trials, we noticed a correlation between the authentic pure Garcinia Cambogia supplements, and weight loss.” Mark Nolan comments on higher quality Garcinia Cambogia not having side effects, but it also provided superb weight loss, as the unhealthily mixed products did not.

What they Found

– 78% of Garcinia Cambogia extract products on the market contained harmful ingredients leading to side effects, and no weight loss.

– Only 14% of Garcinia cambogia dietary supplements provided weight loss, without side effects.

– 8% participant dropout rate/margin of error.

Another function of Garcinia Cambogia extract that was found, is garcinia increased the number Islet and Beta cells in the pancreas; therefore, more insulin is produced. Over a course of 3 months at one capsule per day, Garcinia Cambogia may help prevent diabetes, but more research is needed.

Common fillers found in Dietary Supplements

– Hydrogenated Oils.
– Artificial colors.
– Magnesium Stearate.
– Titanium Dioxide.

Why fillers? Easier, faster, and cheaper production. Other additives are also used for colorants and coatings, not only in dietary supplements like Garcinia Cambogia Extract, but many different kinds of Vitamins.

Things to Look For when purchasing Garcinia Cambogia Extract

– The Product is Made in the U.S.A
– Must contain 60% HCA
– All Natural Ingredients.
– No toxic additives or fillers on product’s label.
– Is a proven product.
– High Potency Extraction Process
– The Garcinia Cambogia Extract is Backed by Human Clinical Trails!

Access Garcinia Cambogia Extract products that are backed by clinical trials here.

– With chemical and physical interactions occurring within a supplement, it is difficult to determine the exact efficiency of the product remaining.

– Manufactures are not required to list the exact amount of fillers within the supplement; therefore it is difficult to determine the amount of non-medicinal ingredients versus medicinal ingredients used. Always use caution when putting anything in your body, and purchase only verified products.

Other Findings

One study from Current Therapeutic research Inc, shows that a 1600 mg dose of Garcinia Cambogia Extract containing 60% HCA daily, provided weight loss between 7.3 – 8.1 pounds over a 12 week period. (1)

Another study by the WWLR presented, showed a 4.7% bodyweight reduction (BMI) in 6.5 weeks. (2)

USA Made Supplement Selected As Best Brand Garcinia Cambogia

SeanRuad.com / January 07, 2014 / ACCESSWIRE / The USA made nutritional supplement Garcinia Cambogia Select has been named the Best Garcinia Cambogia product by SeanRuad.com, a leading international destination for news and product information about specialty nutritional supplements. Click here for more information about Garcinia Cambogia Select http://www.seanruad.com/garcinia-cambogia/

Since early 2013, nutritional supplements containing garcinia cambogia extract have been a popular nutritional supplement for their purported potential to help people lose weight. The odd sounding name refers to a fruit better known as tamarind. The substance gained popularity as a weight loss aid after being touted by a celebrity doctor who hosts a TV show in the United States along with a physician guest who recommended it as a substance that burns fat and suppresses appetite. Despite limited scientific evidence supporting those claims, products containing garcinia cambogia became top selling nutritional supplements in the United States and eventually in throughout the world. For information about garcinia cambogia side effects go to SeanRaud.com

In addition to garcinia supplements, supplements made from green coffee bean extracts are another popular nutritional product touted as an effective weight loss aid. Green coffee extract is believed to aid with weight loss by helping control high blood sugar as a result of an ingredient contained in raw coffee beans called chlorogenic acid. In the case of garcinia supplements, the active ingredient is thought to be hydroxycitric acid. Taken together, garcinia cambogia extracts and green coffee extracts presently dominate the market for natural weight loss helpers. The celebrity doctor with the popular TV show in the US enthusiastically recommended both substances for weight loss. Obesity and excess weight are huge health issues in the West thought by many medical experts to either be a major contributor to a variety of health problems and diseases, and by some to be a significant side effect of metabolic issues stemming from poor diet and/or excess amounts of sugar in processed foods, among other dietary issues. Regardless of the precise causes, millions of people struggle with excess weight and the problem seems to get worse every year.

The nutritional supplement selected by SeanRuad.com as the best value brand of garcinia cambogia is Garcinia Cambogia Select. Garcinia Cambogia Select is made in the USA and contains 50% hydroxycitric acid (or HCA) making it one of the most potent garcinia products available. Regarding dosage, the manufacturer recommended garcinia cambogia dose is three (3) capsules daily taken 30 minutes prior to each primary meal with an 8 ounce glass of water. The serving size is one (1) capsule so each bottle containing 90 capsules is a 1-month supply. Garcinia Cambogia Select is 100% natural. Consumers are assured they are buying a product with the quality standards of a USA made product and Garcinia Cambogia Select is backed by a 100% Customer Satisfaction Guarantee.

There are no fillers, preservatives, artificial ingredients or additives in Garcinia Cambogia Select. The ingredients label for Garcinia Cambogia Select is on display at SeanRuad.com

SeanRuad.com now has a special quantity discount offer on Garcinia Cambogia Select. Customers ordering 3 bottles (which is a 3-month supply) get an additional 3 bottles free. Each bottles contains 90 capsules, which is a one-month supply.

Garcinia Pure ships worldwide to hundreds of countries including the United States, Canada, Australia, Singapore, Great Britain, Denmark, The Netherlands and many more.

Seller Of Ineffective Weight Loss Pills Face Penalty On Amazon

A company Cure Encapsulations selling herbal supplements that was ineffective in fighting fat is facing a fine of $12.8 Million for purchasing fake Amazon reviews. The fine forms a part of a settlement deal that the company has made with the FTC of US. FTC said that Cure had made a payment to a website that is now defunct to provide positive reviews in order to push the claims that its supplements helped people with weight loss. The company has been ordered against making unsubstantiated and false claims about its supplements.

The company claims that its pills, made out of the extracts of a variety of tamarind Garciniacambogia, can be used for weight loss. But according to the research conducted by US, these kinds of supplements have caused severe liver injury in people who used it regularly and the US government advised consumers that the pills had hardly any effect on weight loss.

The FTC said that the company spent huge amount of money to get positive Amazon reviews which were “fabricated” to make them look as if they were from real customers. The settlement had asked the company to contact its customers telling them of the official doubts about the effects of its pills. The settlement had also asked the company to get reliable scientific evidence for any claims that it makes for the supplements based on Sardinia in future.

Now a US judge must rule on as to whether the settlement is an apt remedy for the company’s conduct. The $12.8 Million fine that the company will pay depended on the cash the company had at its disposal, said the FTC. Andrew Smith, head of the division of consumer protection of FTC said that when people shop online, they rely on reviews. He said that when a company like this buys fake reviews, it not only hurts the consumers but also the companies that function according to the rules.

Fish Oil, Vitamin D No Help for Heart Risk, Cancer

By Liz Szabo, Kaiser Health News

Nov. 12, 2018 — A widely anticipated study has concluded that neither vitamin D nor fish oil supplements prevent cancer or serious heart-related problems in healthy older people, according to research presented Saturday at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions. Researchers defined serious heart problems as the combined rate of heart attacks, stroke and heart-related deaths.

Although hundreds of studies of these supplements have been published over the years, the new clinical trial — a federally funded project involving nearly 26,000 people — is the strongest and most definitive examination yet, said Dr. Clifford Rosen, a senior scientist at the Maine Medical Center Research Institute who was not involved in the research.

Doctors have been keenly interested in learning the supplements’ true value, given their tremendous popularity with patients. A 2017 study found that 26 percent of Americans age 60 and older take vitamin D supplements, while 22 percent take pills containing omega-3 fatty acids, a key ingredient in fish oil.

The new study also suggests there’s no reason for people to undergo routine blood tests for vitamin D, said Rosen, who co-wrote an accompanying editorial. (Both were published in the New England Journal of Medicine.). That’s because the study found that patients’ vitamin D levels made no difference in their risk of cancer or serious heart issues, Rosen said. Even people who began the study with clear vitamin D deficiency got no benefit from taking the supplements, which provided 2,000 international units a day. This amount is equal to one or two of the vitamin D pills typically sold in stores.

A recent Kaiser Health News story reported that vitamin D testing has become a huge business for commercial labs — and an enormous expense for taxpayers. Doctors ordered more than 10 million vitamin D tests for Medicare patients in 2016 — an increase of 547 percent since 2007 — at a cost of $365 million.

“It’s time to stop it,” said Rosen of vitamin D testing. “There’s no justification.”

Dr. JoAnn Manson, the study’s lead author, agrees that her results don’t support screening healthy people for vitamin D deficiency.

But she doesn’t see her study as entirely negative.

Manson notes that her team found no serious side effects from taking either fish oil or vitamin D supplements.

“If you’re already taking fish oil or vitamin D, our results would not provide a clear reason to stop,” Manson said.

Manson notes that a deeper look into the data suggested possible benefits.

When researchers singled out heart attacks — rather than the rate of all serious heart problems combined — they saw that fish oil appeared to reduce heart attacks by 28 percent, Manson said. As for vitamin D, it appeared to reduce cancer deaths — although not cancer diagnoses — by 25 percent.

But slicing the data into smaller segments — with fewer patients in each group — can produce unreliable results, said Dr. Barnett Kramer, director of the cancer prevention division at the National Cancer Institute. The links between fish oil and heart attacks — and vitamin D and cancer death — could be due to chance, Kramer said.

Experts agree that vitamin D is important for bone health. Researchers didn’t report on its effect on bones in these papers, however. Instead, they looked at areas where vitamin D’s benefits haven’t been definitely proven, such as cancer and heart disease. Although preliminary studies have suggested vitamin D can prevent heart disease and cancer, more rigorous studies have disputed those findings.

Manson and her colleagues plan to publish data on the supplements’ effects on other areas of health in coming months, including diabetes, memory and mental functioning, autoimmune disease, respiratory infections and depression.

Consumers who want to reduce their risk of cancer and heart disease can follow other proven strategies.

“People should continue to focus on known factors to reduce cancer and heart disease: Eat right, exercise, don’t smoke, control high blood pressure, take a statin if you are high risk,” said Dr. Alex Krist, a professor of family medicine and population health at Virginia Commonwealth University.
