Change Http.Request Content Type header

[ FlexSim 21.0.0 ]

I'm, trying to send a POST request with JSON data using the Http.Request API. I'm able to hit my own server from Flexsim, but I get back a 502. On the server end, its failing to read the request because it default content type send by the Flexsim Http Request is

'content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'

Is there a way to change this header to 'application/json'? The docs don't seem to list anything obvious.

There's no way to currently change that header data, but I'll add a case to the dev list to add a property for header data.

Is there any progress on this issue? One of our client needs to do PUT requests with custom headers (Content-Type, Accept). Unfortunately, it is still not possible in Flexscript API.

I will increase the priority on the card and try to work on this for FlexSim 22.1.

Hi, BoBo, can I change the header to 'application/json' now? and my flexsim version is 21.2.4.

The headers property was added to Http.Request in FlexSim 22.1.0. You need to use that version or newer to access it.

Thank for your answer, i tried the request.headers you suggested in the version 23.05 by using PF, it works well! But due to my company software purchase policy, i can't upgrade my FlexSim version quickly, does it possible that achieve it in version 21.2.4, or can i achieve it by using DLL function? If it is possible, can i get some references from anywhere?
