Shopify API update inventory results in "Required parameter missing or invalid"

following the official Shopify API example, I've created the following request to update inventory:

[method] => PUT

[url] => https://<withheld>:<withheld>@test-shop-422.myshopify.com/admin/variants/1234567890.json

[headers] => Array (
     [0] => Accept: application/json
     [1] => Content-Type: application/json
     [2] => X-HTTP-Method-Override: PUT
)

[params] => {"variant":{"id":1234567890,"inventory_quantity":2,"old_inventory_quantity":1}}

[response] => {"errors":{"variant":"Required parameter missing or invalid"}}

On the forums I've found this answer, but it didn't help: https://ecommerce.shopify.com/c/shopify-apis-and-technology/t/what-does-errors-variant-required-parameter-missing-or-invalid-mean-270461

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

EDIT: here's the final request CURL opts and raw response (<...> - withheld):

The problem is curl overrides Content-Type header if using CURLOPT_PUT or CURLOPT_POST. Needed to remove these and use CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST.

Here is a PHP example with cURL:

<?php
$ch = curl_init("https://key:[email protected]/admin/variants/25930937097.json");
$variant = array('variant' => 
    array(
        'inventory_quantity' =>  2, 
        'old_inventory_quantity' => 1
    )
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PUT");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($variant)); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Content-Type: application/json"));
$response = curl_exec($ch);
print_r($response);

If you're still having trouble, would you mind sharing some of your code?
