How Do You Properly Handle curl Headers for API Requests? or What Are the Best Practices for Setting

Opinionated take:
Bro, servers are *so* inconsistent with curl headers. I swear, half the time it’s the server’s fault.

Try `curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer $(cat token.txt)"` to avoid typos.

If `-v` shows headers but the server still ignores ‘em, slap ‘em with a `-X POST` (even if it’s redundant).

Debugging tip: Use `nc` or `tcpdump` to see raw traffic.
