Send a curl request with no Accept header?

Question

I have written an REST API and I'm try to test a request that has no Accept header. If I send a request via Curl it adds a default header Accept: */*, you can see this if you add Curl's -v parameter.

Is there are way to send a request via Curl with no Accept header?

This is a duplicate of stackoverflow.com/questions/7638661/…. Just pass a blank Accept header as follow: curl -H 'Accept:' http://example.com/. — deltheil

Pass in a header with no value on the right side of the colon to have that removed from the request, even if curl otherwise would add it by itself.

curl -H 'Accept:' http://example.com/
