How to use nodejs request module to send request headers properly?

Question

I am using request module for Nodejs to make http request, but there is an issue with headers object: the value cannot contain double quote otherwise it will be treated differently.

Basically I'm calling an API which requiring headers to carry a property "X-Accesstoken".

My code:

var userId = "123";
var url = "/users/{id}".replace("{id}", userId) ;
var token = "abcd1234"; //changed to protect the innocence, anyway it'll be the valid generated token

var options = {
        method: 'GET',
        url: url,
        header: {
            "x-Accesstoken": token
            "Content-Type": "application/json"
        }
    };
    console.log('testing ' + url);
    request(options, function(error,response,body){
        console.log('body:' + body);
    });

I always got this error:

body:'{
  "status": 403,
  "code": 0,
  "reason": "Not authenticated"
}

Then if I use the Chrome Advanced REST API client, I realize the problem is because of the double quote (") in the X-Accesstoken inside headers

With double quotes --> error:

Without double quotes --> OK

How do I send request headers without double quotes in this case ?

Updates: The header typo is the root cause, not the double quote or uppercase "X-Accesstoken". When I used Advanced REST Client to send request, it sent the double quote as part of the headers value, thus render my token to be invalid.

Answer 1

Shouldn't it be headers instead of header?
