Current behavior

I'm working on an end-to-end (E2E) test using Cypress to intercept an HTTP call with the following command:

cy.intercept('GET', 'https://url:port/').as('intercept');

In my Angular application, there’s a requirement to send a specific HTTP header with an empty value. For example:

curl 'http://url:port/' \
  -H 'Currencycode;'

Note: The header (Currencycode) has a semicolon (;) after its name, indicating an empty value.

Issue:
When I use Cypress to intercept the request, the header isn't sent. However, if I don't use cy.intercept, the header is sent as expected.

In the dev-tool the header is shown but it's actually not sent.

Desired behavior

The headers should be sent correctly, this seems to be working when using cypress 6.0 that is the first version where intercept is introduced. We also tested the version 12.11 and the issue is present.

Test code to reproduce

Server

const express = require('express');
const fs = require('fs');
const cors = require('cors');
const app = express();
const port = 3000;
 
app.use(cors());
app.use(express.json());
 
app.post('/api/test', (req, res) => {
  // Log headers in a file
  fs.appendFileSync('headers.log', JSON.stringify(req.headers, null, 2) + '\n');
 
  // Response
  res.status(200).json({ message: 'Success' });
});
 
app.listen(port, () => {
  console.log(`Server listening at http://localhost:${port}`);
});
