Problem

On production server, my code (See below) produces an unexpected 401 error. However, it works fine on my development server. I have been trying to fix performance caused by the unexpected 401 error. Since my code works fine on Development server, I don't believe the PHP code is causing the error.

Any advise or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Code

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 10);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 60);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_DIGEST); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $VAR:$VAR2);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-type: application/json'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "|MY API V1.0|");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-type: application/json','Content-Length: ' . strlen($POST)));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $POST);

These are the curl_info responses for both, production and development, servers.

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-type: application/json'));

was the culprit. After many days it is now fixed.
