Is this correct?
Remove the trailing colon ( : ) from the text block containing "Content-Type"
It is corrupting the JSON conversion.
What is strange to me is what the Do-it window shows. I
A
There is a V in the text shown that it is not in the vague space of the block
Value space. By the way, I remove the colon as suggested but the misterious V is still there
Can you show the new Do It, after removing the old one?
If you do a Download Blocks Image on that procedure and post it uneditted, I can drag it into my Blocks Editor.
By the way, this is typically done as a list of lists, not a dictionary.
![]()
You're right, it's reproducible.
I can't explain where the \ came from.
Best to avoid all that with a list of lists.
P.S> I'm reclassifying this as a bug, until I hear a good explanation.
Ok. Thanks. I already did change for a list of lists.

Yes, \ is an escape character in many contexts.
I am concerned about the characterisation of / as a special character in the context of json.
I don't remember seeing it used as a json wrapper.
JSON JSON
(Okay, it's an official json escapable character at json.org)
It's also not a CSV wrapper.
It's probably more used in XML, in closing brackets </...>
So that makes me wonder if downstream processing of Web Get headers accomodate \ escape characters versus just passing them along for application code to choke on.
Thank you for the explanation for the origin of the character “escape”. What I can tell is that in the context and usage of the dictionary blocks to form Request Headers, the apperance of the “scape” character make that the use of a REST API call to be considered a wrong and isntead of a responce you get an error. The most interesting thing in this story is that if used in an android app everithing works OK. But if the call is in a iOS app under the corresponding companion you do not even have an error message.
In my case, I change to the recomended use of making a list of lists and like magic, the REST API call to Gemini worked just fine.
Thans a lot for your valuable comments an suggestions.
regards
