why curl_exec isnt sending the Authorization token to the server? - php

Question

I am trying to send a GET request to a python server with an Authorization Token in the header.
I do receive the Request on the server side but without the authorization token
Here is the php code that is generating the request :
<?php
$url = "http://localhost:7432/f.php";
$curl = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$headers = array(
"Authorization: sdfascvthsgdgdssgvsgscf",
);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
//for debug only!
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
$resp = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
var_dump($resp);
?>
When I generate the request from Reqbin, I do Receive the request with the Authorization token in the header , but when I try to generate the request from the php file then it does not send the Authorization token to the server
Here is the request received on server side when I use the Reqbin website to make the request:
127.0.0.1 - - [03/Sep/2021 13:27:10] "GET /f.php HTTP/1.1" 200 -

And This is the received Request when I use the php code mentioned above :
