"Headers in cURL: What’s the Correct Syntax for Adding Them?"

Hey folks! I’ve been messing around with headers curl commands lately, and I keep getting tripped up on the syntax. Sometimes my headers just... don’t work? Like, I’ll do `-H "Content-Type: application/json"`, but the server acts like it’s not even there.

Am I missing something obvious? Should I be using single quotes, double quotes, or no quotes at all? And what about multiple headers—do I just stack `-H` flags, or is there a cleaner way?

Also, anyone run into weird issues with spaces or special chars in headers curl requests? Spent way too long debugging that yesterday lol.

Would love to hear how y’all handle this! Cheers.
