Current behavior

DISCLAIMER: i'm not very proficient in networking
I was trying to do a POST request to Discord API to get a token, but it always failed, despite working in python. After debugging, I found out that it didn't send the body data. I then tried it as a normal request with x-www-form-urlencoded, and it still didn't work.
When i try to do a POST request with Content-Type: x-www-form-urlencoded for normal text properties, the body that i want to pass is not actually passed to the request
CONFIG:

PRODUCED CURL:

Steps to reproduce

Create POST request with some text data
Set the Content-Type to x-www-form-urlencoded
From testing, it's not gonna append the data

Environment

Production

I have discovered a similar issue. My request was successful, but when I tried to export the request as a shell cURL, I found that the data was empty. The 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' type does not have data, while the 'content type: application/json' type has data.

I have similar issue with 'PUT' with JSON body
content-type was not sent to server.
I checked with WireShark.
