I set a custom header, but it is not getting sent. This has worked in the past, but I cannot recall exactly when. The CURL code snippet shows it, but the console log does not, and the server does not receive it. CURL: ```auto curl --location --request GET 'http://localhost:8083/ift/api/visibility/v3/products' \ --header 'ift-temp-limit: 2' \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer XXX' ``` Console log message: ```auto GET /ift/api/visibility/v3/products HTTP/1.1 Authorization: Bearer XXX User-Agent: PostmanRuntime/7.26.8 Accept: */* Cache-Control: no-cache Postman-Token: f9be2868-bafc-4454-b13b-1e526ee53adf Host: localhost:8083 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br Connection: keep-alive ``` ---

Hey @jmacnaught, Welcome to the community šŸ‘‹ This is an interesting situation. Could you share information about how youā€™re setting the headers, screenshots maybe? I could try reproducing it at my end, if that helps. Thanks, Meena ---

Thanks, Meena Here is a screen shot of the UI. I have checked the header to enable it. I usually have a variable name there, but Iā€™m using a directly entered value in this test. ![Postman_and_Request_headers_are_not_getting_sent_-Help-_Postman](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/getpostman/original/3X/5/2/5277ff449fa565a3b7d4c26db33c56558cc023ec.png) ---

All seems fine I guess. Could you try importing this template by selecting the _Run in Postman_ option on top. Thereā€™s a request that sends Headers in there. If that works then maybe we can compare why this isnā€™t working.

The Echo request worked correctly: ![Postman_and_Request_echo_request](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/getpostman/original/3X/9/4/94e715820b8947ca7097044a07e5f558698e6a8a.png) ---

So thereā€™s probably something we might be missing in the other request. šŸ§ ---

All my collections have been imported from OpenAPI 3.0 spec. I created a new collection and added a single request, and that request sends the header correctly. So, at this point, I can only guess that the import sets or fails to set something. ---

So I generated a collection from an OpenAPI spec and modified a request to include some headers. I was able to see those headers in the request under Console. ---

Having the same issue. I tried adding some new headers today, and the old headers are still being sent but the new headers arenā€™t. Iā€™ve check the server to see whatā€™s itā€™ getting and itā€™s basically not sending the newly added headers ---

I found out it was my server eating the headers (Authorization header in my case). This code helped me, just place in your .htaccess file # Allow Authorization header to be passed to PHP CGIPassAuth on ---

This fixed it for me, thank you!
