# Headers and Values to Receive JSON-Formatted Responses

Specify HTTP headers and associated values that trigger JSON-formatted errors to be returned.

Format:

`org.forgerock.agents.config.json.header[Header]=Value`

Use with [HTTP Return Code for JSON-Formatted Responses](org.forgerock.agents.config.json.response.code.html), as follows:

`org.forgerock.agents.config.json.header[enableJsonResponse]=true`

`org.forgerock.agents.config.json.response.code=202`

Performing a GET operation that matches the example triggers an HTTP result code `202 Accepted`, and a JSON response containing `302 Found`.

Default: Empty
