Once a tab is active, the current URL is matched against the following strings:
• /_api/web/
• /_api/site/
• /_api/sp.
• /_api/search
• /_vti_bin/ListData.svc

At a match the accept property in the request header is changed to 'application/json;odata=verbose' per default.

• Set the accept header per URL filter

In the Global options the following options can be chosen:
• application/json;odata=verbose
