Fix error code documentation for request.json
Clarify that a 415 error is raised when Content-Type is incorrect,
while a 400 error is raised when the body is not valid JSON.
This aligns the patterns documentation with the API reference at
https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/stable/api/#flask.Request.json
Changes Made
Updated
docs/patterns/javascript.rstin the "Receiving JSON in Views"section to correctly distinguish between:
400 Bad Request: Raised when the request body is not valid JSON
415 Unsupported Media Type: Raised when Content-Type header is not
set to application/json
Previously, the documentation incorrectly stated that both scenarios
would raise a 400 error.
