net::http help [ POST works with curl but fails on the form]

I am trying to use net::http to do a post request.

My request using net:http fails with following error:

respnose_body,code: ["{\"message\":\"Validation Failed\",\"errors\":{\"direction\":[\"invalid\"]}}",
   "422"]]

My request works fine using curl on teminal:

curl https://$$.com/$$ \
>     -u usr:Pssd! \
>     -X POST \
>     -H 'Accept: application/json' \
>     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
>     -d '{"body":"my body"}'

However the same request , I try to execute using nett:http as 

 http_headers => {"Accept" => "application/json", "Content-Type" => "application/json"}

 uri=URI.parse(url)
      http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
      http.use_ssl = true
      http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
      request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(uri.request_uri)
      http_headers.each{|key,value| request.add_field(key,value)}
      request.body = form_data  
      response=http.request(request)

The form_data is passed as a json using hash.to_json .

Now the same NET:HTTP code works for a different post request (on a different uri) executed exactly the same.

The service expects data to be sent and received as json.

Any suggestions to debug this .

Thanks!

Update: Added the way I am setting up headers

Try: 

request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(uri.request_uri, {'Content-Type' =>'application/json'})

or:

request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(uri.request_uri)
request["Content-Type"] = "application/json"
