How do you allow encoded JSON pass through the headers?

I was just connecting my rest API with my admin system. I recently found out that HttpService:RequestAsync() doesn’t accept encoded JSON as one of the headers. I use Postman for testing rest API requests and it allows sending a header with a JSON format. How do you fix this? My rest APIs doesn’t use the request body for retrieving data.

Http Headers:

Headers = {
				["Content-Type"] = "application/json",
				Authorization = "Bearer "..tostring(crossSettings.domainAuthKey),
				reason = reason or "Not specified",
				moderator = httpService:JSONEncode(moderator or {name = "SYSTEM", id = -1}),
			}

Console error:

HTTP ERROR: Header "moderator" has unallowed character "{" in value "{"name":"Roblox trzistan#327713710","id":"327713710"}"

Did you find a solution yet? It seems really weird with twitter api and roblox rn

I mean, you may be able to use a custom encoding method:
Loop through the table, and all sub tables, and then add it all to a string. You could use an allowed character or something like %69 (something that is allowed but has no meaning. Idk if %69 has meaning, should check), then when you decode it, replace it with { or } respectively
