Casperjs/Phantomjs Modifying headers - header

Question

i'm trying to change some headers but nothing is working:
var casper = require('casper').create({ //
stepTimeout: 15000,
verbose: false,
logLevel: 'error',
pageSettings: {
loadImages: true,
loadPlugins: true,
userAgent: 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.364',
customHeaders: {
Connection: 'keep-alive',
Accept: 'text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8'
} } });
I also tried:
phantom.page.customHeaders = {
"User-Agent" : "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:26.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/26.0",
"Accept": "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8",
"Accept-Language": "en-US,en;q=0.5", "Accept-Encoding": "gzip, deflate",
"Connection" : "keep-alive" };
And for a single connection:
this.open('http://localhost/post.php', {
method: 'post',
headers: { 'Accept': 'application/json' }
});
None of them are working or am i doing something wrong?
Thanks

I cannot reproduce your problem. It seems to work for me... Maybe you have an issue with a redirection somewhere, like discussed here.
May I suggest you to do like this guy and try the following code?
casper.on('started', function () {
this.page.customHeaders = {
"User-Agent" : "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:26.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/26.0",
"Accept": "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8",
"Accept-Language": "en-US,en;q=0.5",
"Accept-Encoding": "gzip, deflate",
"Connection" : "keep-alive"
}
});
