Cannot access azure storage table using SAS via c#. Works in postman and browser

Question

I am trying to obtain and parse a table from azure storage.

I generated a Shared Access Signature in azure storage explorer.

If I paste the generated url into browser or postman I get the table back as xml.

However, trying to do a HttpWebRequest with the url results in

System.Net.WebException: 'The remote server returned an error: (415) Unsupported Media Type.'

I have tried different content and accept types

const string url = @"https://laptopdeploymentfiles.table.core.windows.net/PaulLoginScript?st=2019-08-21T08%3A10%3A22Z&se=2019-08-22T08%3A10%3A22Z&sp=r&sv=2018-03-28&tn=paulloginscript&sig=***";

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);

request.Method = "GET";

var webResponse = request.GetResponse();

I have tried both

request.Accept = "application/xml";

and

 request.ContentType = "application/xml";

but still get the same error.

I have also tried creating and accessing a new table with only simple data. The data accessed via the brower is valid xml, but I still get the same error from a c# app.

The solution was to use both the following contenttype and accept formats

  request.Accept = "application/json";
     request.ContentType = "application/json";
