POST requests require a Content-length header in laravel - laravel

Question

$output = Curl::httpGet("https://bhleh.com/emailstorage", "POST", $params);
return $output;
this is in my laravel but when ever i try to run this i get an error saying
411. That’s an error.
POST requests require a Content-length header. That’s all we know.
i tried adding header files in my middle ware folder but nothing seems to work.
i figured out that the Content-length header isn't included in laravel (i think so not so sure) so how would i add it
please note i am very new to laravel

Answer 1

this fix to this is that this i replaced the whole code with this
$data_string = json_encode($params);
$ch = curl_init('https://bhleh.com/emailstorage');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_string);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Content-Type: application/json',
'Content-Length: ' . strlen($data_string))
);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
return $result;

Answer 2

I was facing the same issue but I was not sending CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS as per the API endpoint. I don't need to send any variable but when I send CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS with a blank array it started working.
$data_string = array();
$ch = curl_init('https://bhleh.com/emailstorage');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($data_string));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Content-Type: application/json'
);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
return $result;
