Getting a 400 response when doing app authentication for podio app

I'm trying to get an access token using app authentication for my Podio App.

Currently, my code looks like so:

    const authUrl = 'https://podio.com/oauth/token';
    const data= "grant_type=app&app_id="+appId+"&app_token="+appToken+"&client_id="+clientId+"&redirect_uri="+uri+"&client_secret="+clientSecret;
    var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
        if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {
            document.getElementById("requestResponse").innerHTML = this.responseText;
        }
      };
    xhttp.open("POST",authUrl, true);
    xhttp.send(data);

I keep getting a 400 error, which means the request is bad. But I've tested it using Beeceptor and it works and looks fine. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong...

Finally figured it out. Adding a line of code...

xhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

This fixed it perfectly. Found solution here: https://help.podio.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/207481648-Cannot-authenticate-by-app-id
