Hi Gustaf,
I'm sorry, I believe I haven't expressed myself well in the previous post.

ns_http comes with the header "Content-type" "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" by default.

Thus, when I add the extra header "Content-Type" "image/jpeg", it gets doubled, instead of overwriting the default one

The reason for that is "ad_form context". That POST request happens in the middle of another POST request, while ad_form -on_submit event has been executed.

"ns_http run" snippet is placed still within the block -on_submit, the image is sent to a third/external site, right before the image gets stored in the ACS content repository.

Unfortunately, writing ns_http post request in a different file, avoiding context overlapping, then redirecting to the workflow/execution of the form, is not a solution. Ad_form has been used in the GUI, so that everything starts with the ad_form submission.

The external site functions as some sort of validation to the image being uploaded. Meaning, if the endpoint returns negatively
the users will be required to chose/use a valid image.

So, how would I remove "Content-type" "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"?

Do you see any other approach that could allow running this post request out of the ad_form context?

NS release is NaviServer/4.99.19 (tar-4.99.19) running
