'JMeter Http Header manager doesn't add header to request

I have a JMeter plan using an HTTP sampler that I am trying to add a header to the request. The header should be really simple custom: type

Example of project

But when I run the test I don't see the header....

What am I missing? Why is my header not showing up in the request?

Update

Your issue is due to wrong scoping of Header Manager.

Either put it as child of Get Session or child of Test plan if it applies to whole Requests of test plan.

Example:

Test Plan

If it fails, it could be due to your User Credentials Pre-Processor (which runs before GetSession request is sent), but as you don't show code.

Another option is that you're seeing redirect request instead of initial one, check your config so that you see the 2 requests:

Redirect config

I had the same issue (When editing the HTTP Header at the thread level it would use my old values) I didn't realize I had a HTTP Header at a lower level as well. So make sure to remove any other instance of HTTP Header manager. I had one at the Thread Group level and the https request level. I deleted the one at the https level and it fixed my issue.
