llHttpRequest with Content-Type header

[DaveDurant]

Hi,

I'm trying to do a POST with llHttpRequest and need to set a HTTP_CUSTOM_HEADER for a specific Content-Type. 

When I try this, I get a script error: HTTP_CUSTOM_HEADER value is an invalid header. 

ContentType and Content_Type do not produce this script error. Just "a-b" does not have the error either, so I think this is something looking explicitly at Content-Type. 

Any tips? I don't control the server side and it wants a Content-Type.

use HTTP_MIMETYPE for that case.

That didn't seem to help.

Any other ideas for being able to set the Content-Type?

HTTP_MIMETYPE does set the Content-Type header sent from llHTTPRequest. also HTTP_METHOD must be "POST" for a Content-Type header to be sent at all. i checked the transmitted headers just now, to make sure this behavior has not changed.

you have kept your test script and any discription of the remote server secret, so it won't be possible to offer more than that general information.

Huh.. You are indeed correct - sorry, I didn't thoroughly retest. My bad. 

The script is trying to do an OAuth 2 login to a CRM system. Google says, and says only, that the error I'm getting means it's missing the correct Content-Type header in the POST. I changed the URL http://httpbin.org/post and the right headers are in there. 

Weird. Time for more digging, I guess. TY!
