difference between curl and python requests

Question

I am trying to access my firewall API.

and i got a good answer in curl with:

curl -k -i -u admin:xxxx -X POST https://10.0.0.2:9443/api/sonicos/auth 
#=> Ok

with requests, api said HTTP 406 here is my code:

import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
r = requests.post(
    'https://10.0.0.2:9443/api/sonicos/auth', 
    auth=HTTPBasicAuth('admin', 'xxxx'), 
    headers={'Content-type': 'Application/JSON'}, 
    verify=False
)

API documentation said: 406 Not acceptable Mime-type in content-type not supported.

I try a lot of parameters without success. Any idea to help me?

Thanx

Does the API docs says what kind of content-type it accepts? — Stargazer

With @moritzg. Especially since you aren't POSTing any data. — Jared Smith

Henkq: uses two different content types for requests. Server: performs differently. Henkq: Pikachu face. — Giacomo Alzetta

As far as I know, and according to the RFC 2045, the content type should be lowercase. In your case, "'Content-type': 'application/json'"

This is correct and valuable, but doesn't actually answer the question. It should be a comment on the question. Especially since it's not clear why the OP is using that content type in the first place.

@sne4ky, put content-type in lower case doesnt slove the pb. and whitout content-type headers. Il's the same.
