if i send a post request like this:

<http://client.post|client.post><String>("....") {
                body = TextContent(stringBody, ContentType.Application.FormUrlEncoded)
            }

does it set a content type header? if I test the code with the MockEngine it has no content type header set.

Yes it does 🙂

My code here

<http://client.post|client.post><String>("<http://ptsv2.com/t/v50jm-1587401898/post>") {
    body = TextContent(stringBody, ContentType.Application.FormUrlEncoded)
}

pinged http://ptsv2.com/ and left a content type header - you can see the "dump" here

interesting. then its probably a bug in the MockEngine

[christophsturm]

ok its probably related to this: https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/pull/1169

Interesting. I didn’t look at the mock engine just the external receiver. Cheers
