Methods and systems are described for providing for responding to messages without non-accepted elements of accepted MIME types based on specifications in a message header. In one embodiment, a message is received from a client device. The message includes a header for specifying a MIME type that will be accepted and an element of the accepted MIME type that will not be accepted in a response to the received message. The non-accepted element is specified in the header by identifying the non-accepted element or by identifying an accepted element while omitting the non-accepted element. The header in the received message is processed to determine the accepted MIME type and the non-accepted element of the accepted MIME type. The response to the received message is generated and sent to the client device. The generated response includes the specified MIME type and excludes the non-accepted element of the accepted MIME type.
