Retrofit is prefixing "HTTP_" to every custom header

Question

I dont know why Retrofit is adding "HTTP_" before every custom header I try to add.

public interface UserService {

    @POST("api/users/details/bio/update/")
    Call<User> updateBio(@Header("Authorization") String text,@Body User user);

}

When I execute this code, on my server it shows header as "HTTP_AUTHORIZATION".

Here are the logs when I send the request to the server

I also tried it with an Interceptor class. And it still doesn't show any difference.

public class AuthenticationInterceptor implements Interceptor {
    private String authToken;

    public AuthenticationInterceptor(String token) {
        this.authToken = token;
    }

    @Override
    public Response intercept(Chain chain) throws IOException {
        Request original = chain.request();

        Request.Builder builder = original.newBuilder().header("Authorization", authToken);

        Request request = builder.build();
        return chain.proceed(request);
    }
}

show the logs when sending it to the server – matrix Dec 28 '17 at 18:31 — matrix, Dec 28 '17 at 18:31

It isn't the client. Are you using CGI as your server or something similar? IIRC this is how headers turn.

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3875#section-4.1.18

How do I access the HTTP Header of request in a CGI script?
