Description

Resolution of the problem:
"""
I created a flask server to use SentenceTransformer("multi-qa-MiniLM-L6-cos-v1")

with EmbedderOpenAICompatibleConfig

I can't handle requests with error "POST /v1/embeddings HTTP/1.1" 415 -

In particular on the cat side I have the error
File "/app/cat/factory/custom_embedder.py", line 59, in embed_documents
ret.raise_for_status()
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/httpx/_models.py", line 759, in raise_for_status
raise HTTPStatusError(message, request=request, response=self)
httpx.HTTPStatusError: Client error '415 UNSUPPORTED MEDIA TYPE' for url 'http://server:port/v1/embeddings'

Hi @piperino11 thanks, a couple of things:

• did you test this with another OpenAI compatible embedding server? It may be a problem related to your flask not accepting json
• in case your edit is necessary, can you redo the PR branching off and towards the develop branch? main is just for releases

Closing this, let me know!
