How can I set my request headers in Cypress to avoid ignoring them?

Could you help to solve the problem in API testing by Cypress. When I set the request headers in options section Cypress ignores them and replaces with default ones. The example of my request:

 cy.request({
          method: 'POST',
          url: 'https://orion.koto.com/api/inn',
          Headers: {'sid':'21102xiXXdvsfykg5pj'},
          body:'["3211455115"]' ,
        })

the request sent by Cypress:

Method: POST URL: https://orion.koto.com/api/inn Headers: {
"Connection": "keep-alive", "user-agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/95.0.4638.54 Safari/537.36", "accept": "/",
"accept-encoding": "gzip, deflate", "content-length": 14 } Body: ["3211455115"]

const green_value = "TOTO"
describe('As I have set a green header',()=>{
    it('should use this header',()=>{
        cy.visit({
            method: 'GET',
            url: 'https://www.whatismybrowser.com/detect/what-http-headers-is-my-browser-sending',
            headers: {
            'green': green_value
            }
        })
    })
})

On my side, it work with visit() function. The url used will show you header sent. Hope this code sample can help you to implement request() function.
