z/OS Connect API Requester support for application/HAL+JSON

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/iis-administration/api/hal Currently, API Requester does not have integration with application/HAL-JSON, which causes the callers of APIS that use HAL+JSON to manually modify the swagger to define the HAL response structures. HAL is not traditionally defined in swagger, as it is a predefined standard. API Requester could be enhanced to be able to handle the mapping of the HAL structures in the case the request payload comes in as application/HAL-JSON.

    Whilst this requirement is valid, based on our current plans and priorities for IBM
    z/OS Connect, it is not likely that this could be implemented in the
    next 12 months. Correspondingly this requirement is being declined at this point. The
    requirement will be kept in the IDEAs system and might be reassessed in the future.
    You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be
    reconsidered then.
