Nov 1, 2018 at 19:50 comment added Brock Adams @user84207, the question was not clear because (1) you were getting an access_token, which is the whole point, (2) the question shows confusion about the purpose and use of x-www-form-urlencoded, (3) you listed no actual practical problem. Contrast this to the linked bug report.

Nov 1, 2018 at 19:14 comment added user84207 I don't understand why the stackexchange API would use this custom non-standard response format instead of a standard JSON object that most REST api libraries understand. Also inconsistent with most of the rest of the API which uses JSON.
Nov 1, 2018 at 18:58 comment added user84207 sorry, what isn't clear about the question? is there skepticism about whether the API actually sends back the content-type and response as stated?
