Authorization Header in Swift POST

My app creates POST request with Authorization header - it looks like :

let accessToken = "veryCoolToken"
var request = URLRequest(url: myURL)
request.httpMethod = "POST" 
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "content-type")
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Accept")
request.setValue("token=\"\(accessToken)\"", forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization")

I already checked this request with Postman app - it was fine. But for some reason I received needed result only from Postman and not from my app.

So after taking apart request on my Server - I found that when my app sending POST request - it is not "Authorization" but "authorization".

Why is that happening?

What else should I take in consideration when app sends POST request with headers?

For POST requests in Swift, generally you have to set the following:

request.setValue("Basic " + accessToken, forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization")
