API Requester support for additional content-type

Currently, API Requester only supports a content-type of application/json

We have teams that require to be able to call REST APIs with content-types other than the one currently supported:
multipart/form-data
application/x-www-form-urlencoded
application/xml

Currently, this limitation of zOS Connect API Requester is a stoppage for these teams in utilizing API Requester. 
The enablement of additional content-types other than application/json would expand the API Requester capabilities to interface with REST Services.

    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 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
