How Do You Properly Set and Manage curl Headers in Your Requests? or What Are the Best Practices for

Dude, curl headers can be a pain. If the server’s complaining, try adding `-H "Accept: application/json"` alongside your Content-Type. Some APIs are weirdly strict about both.

For messy commands, I just alias them in my shell. Like:
`alias curlapi='curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer token"'`

Also, Postman or Insomnia are great for testing headers before translating to curl. Less guesswork!
