Interactive API Docs 'Try it out!' does not set "Accept" header

I describe API model on swaggerhub.com and trying to send POST request with parameters in body using 'Try it out!' operation. It returns response with status '406 Not Acceptable'.

However when I copy Curl that suggests swaggerhub and paste it to command line it works fine.

There is no header "Accept: application/json" in request that comes to web app when I use 'Try it out' operation.
In the description of my POST operation there is field

      produces:
        - application/json

I tried to add header using parameters:

      parameters:
        - name: "Accept"
          in: header
          type: string
          default: "application/json"

But result doesn't  changed at all.

When I change header in parameters, I can set changes in represented curl, but result is the same.

 

Is there something I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

      I have found an issue, which is probably causing your missing  `Accept: application/json`.

       

      Your spec, looks fine. Sorry for the inconvenience, we'll report as soon as we move the needed changes into production.

    I am having a similar issue. My curl always looks like this:

     

    curl -X GET --header 'Accept: text/html' 

    when what I need is this:

     

    curl -X GET --header 'Accept: application/json' 

     

    Isn't there a simple way to do this? I tried the solution above, to no avail, adding both:

     

    produces:
      - 'application/json'

     

    and under parameters:

     

          - name: "Accept"
            in: header
            type: string
            default: "application/json"
            description: application/json is currently supported

    Any help appreciated!

      We have a known bug with the curl command generation and working on a fix for it. The try it out functionality should work as expected though.
