How Do You Properly Format Headers in cURL Requests? or What’s the Best Way to Include Headers in a c

17 Replies, 2230 Views

For headers curl, I’ve found that some APIs are super strict about case sensitivity. Like, `content-type` vs `Content-Type`—some servers care, some don’t.

If you’re dealing with JSON, maybe try `-H 'Content-Type: application/json'` with single quotes. Sometimes shells eat the double quotes weirdly.

Also, if you’re sending a ton of headers, consider putting them in a file and using `--config`. Saves typing.
