Adding application/x-www-form-urlencoded automatically when in POST+application/x-www-form-urlencoded mode ?

[Gregwar]

• Application version: 17.0.9
• Operating System (Platform and Version): Ubuntu 20.04

Expected Behavior When selecting "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" for parameter transmission, I'd expect the Content-type header to be set to application/x-www-form-urlencoded if not specified otherwise.

Because it is missing with ARC, it causes POST parameters to be skipped by the server (I am using Symfony dev server as a back-end). I have to manually add application/x-www-form-urlencoded as Content-type when passing POST parameters.

Actual behavior The Content-type header is absent, for example:

POST /api/message HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:1234
content-length: 16

text=Hello world

To Reproduce By setting up any request with POST and not specifying the Content-type manually in the header section

Additional Information

This is the default behaviour for curl for instance.

So, in my current setup, the ARC request fails to be processed, while the curl code snippet works.
