Problem with setting Content-Type

[domwoe]

var options = {
    proxy: process.env.QUOTAGUARDSTATIC_URL
    strictSSL: false, // allow us to use our self-signed cert for testing
    rejectUnhauthorized : false,
    headers: {
        'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/39.0.2171.71 Safari/537.36',
        'Authorization':    'Basic '+authToken,
        'Accept-Encoding':  'application/json',
        'Content-Type':     'application/json'
    }
};

I set also options.form to be an object with my payload and use the request.post method.

But this is what I get as a response (deleted the private parts):
{"statusCode":415,"body":"","headers":{"date":"Wed, 10 Dec 2014 13:33:19 GMT","content-length":"0","connection":"close","content-type":"text/plain; charset=UTF-8","content-language":"en"},"request":{"uri":{"protocol":"https:","slashes":true,"auth":null,"host":"","port":443,"hostname":"","hash":null,"search":null,"query":null,"pathname":"","path":"","href":""},"method":"POST","headers":{"User-Agent":"Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/39.0.2171.71 Safari/537.36","Authorization":"","Accept-Encoding":"application/json","_Content-Type":"application/x-www-form-urlencoded_","content-length":41}}}

So it seems that the Content-Type is not set to application/json and this is why I get a 415.
What is the problem here?

When you are using the form key the content-type is always set to application/x-www-form-urlencoded. Which version of request do you use?

[domwoe]

2.50.0

Aha, so how can I then post json?

[simov]

Send it via json:{object} or body:{obj}, json:true, see the docs for more detailed information about the available options.

Your problem might be related to this bug as well #1310, so in any case try your tests with v2.49.0 as well.

@domwoe 2.51.0 is out, let us know what's the status with your issue.

2.51.0 works for me, while 2.50.0 didn't. Thanks.
