Web API Reference Guide
Response Format: A successful call to the configurationExport method results in an HTTP response with
the configuration snapshot file in the response body.
The content type for the configuration snapshot file is “application/vnd.zend.serverconfig”. In addition, the
response includes a Content-disposition header, specifying a suggested file name for the configuration
snapshot file.
Note:
This is different from most Web API calls where the content type is expected to be
“application/vnd.zend.serverpi+xml; version=…” and the response body payload is expected to be in XML
format.
In case of an error, a regular error response will be returned containing an element as
defined for other Web API methods.
