php curl header set currently

I'm trying to make a post request to salesforce "api". however it accepts only content type which is explicitly set to "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

When I do this:

curl_setopt_array($ch, array(
                CURLOPT_URL => 'https://www.salesforce.com/servlet/servlet.WebToLead',
                CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => 1,
                CURLOPT_POST => 3,
                CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => json_encode(array (
                        'first_name' => 'foo',
                        'last_name' => 'faa',
                        'email' => '[email protected]',
                        'oid' => '#hash',
                        'recordType' => '#hash'
                )),
                CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER=>array(
                        'Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
                )
        ));

        $data = curl_exec($ch);
        $info = curl_getinfo($ch);

The response headers content-type is always: "text/html;charset=UTF-8"

The same parameters I send using postman (with the correct header) actually works.

When CURLOPT_POST is true, curl sets Content-Type of the request to application/x-www-form-urlencoded automatically; you don't need to do that manually. You can verify that (as well as check all other "outgoing" headers) by setting CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT to true prior to your request, then checking the array returned by curl_getinfo().

I suspect your problem has nothing to do with the request headers but with how curl handles https. Setting these in your curl_setopt_array() should help:

CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false,
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST => 2,
