It was my opinion from this statement....

... That you needed to know how to set a header in your post request.

Anyhow...

I seen a post a few days ago about a similar issue and if memory serves me it was accepted that the request type in question should probably be returned as binary.

See [this thread](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/http-request-node-invalid-message-body-was-specified-to-be-cbor-but-could-not-decode-message-failed-to-parse/30503/9) perhaps this header should also be handled as binary?
