Creation

Description

obj = matlab.net.http.field.AcceptField(value) creates an Accept header field with the Value property set to value.

Use an Accept field if the server can return different MediaType objects and you want to receive only certain types. If you do not specify an Accept field, the server might assume that you are willing to receive any type.
