Version 1

Complete solution

How to fix launchdarkly: launchdarkly allflags throws launchdarklyflagfetcherror expected application/json content type but got.

Problem

Calling ldclient.allFlags() throws "LaunchDarklyFlagFetchError: Expected application/json content type but got application/json, application/json; charset=utf-8" with SDK version 2.15.2. The duplicated content type value looked like an SDK bug, but the maintainers could not reproduce it with default settings.

Verified fix

This was not an SDK bug: a browser extension was rewriting the response Content-Type header into the duplicated value "application/json, application/json; charset=utf-8", which failed the SDK content-type check. The reporter confirmed the problem came from the extension and the issue was closed as resolved on their side. If you see this exact error, disable browser extensions one by one, especially header-modifying or ad-blocking extensions, to find the culprit.
