Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/issues/4660

Originally assigned to: @CuriousCorrelation on GitHub.

Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

Rest - POST with body set to application/json isn't setting 'Content-Type: ' to application/json

Steps to reproduce

I'm using Rest - POST and have body set to application/json and I've set a raw JSON object.

The server is getting an empty body object {}. And the generated code is:

curl --request POST \
  --url http://localhost:8100/users \
  --header 'Content-Type: ' \
  --data '{
  "event": "subscriber",
  "email": "mel.smith@gmail.com"
}'

ie. 'Content-Type: ' is not set to 'application/josn'

Hoppscotch V2024.12.0 on Windows 11

Environment

Release

Version

Local

@clibu

Thank you for the issue.

Just to be clear, what is meant by "and have body set to application/json and I've set a raw JSON object." ?

On the Windows App, the only option I see is specifying Content-Type from a list of different data types, and a POST request is working perfectly for me.

In the image below, are you referring to the dropdown that my cursor is on?

@clibu

POST requests work with me, where I set the "Content Type" to be application/json. Have you tried sending POST requests to other servers via Hoppscotch?

@yousefmarey12
Have you checked that:
a) the server is receiving JSON
b) click on "Generate Code" in Hoppscotch shows application/json ?

I'm using Insomnia and it works correctly.

Hi!

There have been several overhauls of the underlying kernel that relays information between the app and the interceptor since V24.12.0 and issue appears to be resolved in v25.5.0 and above based on current testing.

Content-Type header is now being set correctly as content-type: application/json.

Closing this issue as resolved. If you're still experiencing inconsistent header behavior or notice any related issues, please feel free to reopen this issue with updated reproduction steps.
