Hello, I’m trying to set “Content-Type” header to just “application/json”, but Ktor client automatically send request with the header set to “application/json; *charset=UTF-8*”. How can I remove the charset parameter from the header? I’m using ktor 2.0.0-beta-1.

Content-Type is set to just application/json in Ktor 1.6.7, but it's set to application/json; charset=UTF-8 in 2.0.0-beta-1. This causes a regression as our auth service doesn't work with the content type with the charset param. Is there any way to take control of setting the content type header?

I've created an issue about changed behavior and added a workaround.
