Headers not sticking

See original GitHub issue

I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong here but I can’t seem to get my header changes to stick.

Here’s what I’m doing:

Manager.instance.baseHeaders = mapOf(Pair("Content-Type", "application/json"))
val (request, response, data) = url.httpPost(listOf(Pair("emailAddress", email))).responseString()

However, when I debug the Manager class’ request method (around line 57) the request’s headers are set to:

"Content-Type" -> "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
"Accept-Encoding" -> "compress;q=0.5, gzip;q=1.0"

This is using just Fuel (not the android lib) in a Spring Boot app with the Kotlin RC

Oh I am sorry. What I actually mean is that you can override httpHeader it with header function at request level. url.header("Content-Type" to "application/json").httpPost ....
