Question

I am having difficulty setting the content-type header of an external Kohana3.1+ request.

$r = Request::factory($this->api)
    ->method(Request::PUT)
    ->body($this->to_json())
    ->headers('content-type', 'application/json');

The request ends up being executed by curl. The CURLOPT_ settings for the request type (PUT) and the request body (the json) are set correctly, but the content type does not get set.

Am I going about this in the wrong way?

It was a bug. The question was answered here:
