Hello,
I set 2 default headers using default_header() method and one of them is
"Content-Type" which is set to "application/json", but it looks that it is
overidden with "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" when doing a POST request.
Is this intentionally?
It's a consequence of how HTTP::Request::Common::POST() currently works;
$ua->post() is just a thin wrapper for that function. I guess POST() could
have been changed to not set the "Content-Type" if passed scalar "Content". It
currently defaults to "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" which cause the outer
default to not apply. Changing this has the potential to break other code so
it might be better to accept this behaviour.

Thanks Gisle. So there are historical reasons.
I will create another wrapper in my code that sets that default Content-Type
just once.
