not - Media types such as xml, png, and pdf
- OpenAPI 3.0: Server variables. The
servers[].variablesobject isn't supported. Variable placeholders in a server URL (for example,{subdomain}or{tenant}) aren't substituted at run time from variable default values or from named credential parameters. Use a literal URL instead. A schema that relies on server variables registers successfully but produces malformed callout URLs at run time and fails.
