You're probably not allowed to use the equals sign in a header key. It kinda looks like you are trying to set two headers, but the syntax you're using is setting just one. Remember the key and value are two separate strings. 

And now that I look at it, the Javadoc for Headers doesn't even list a constructor that takes strings. Try creating two Header instances and passing those in to the Headers constructor.

This is what actually I am doing

public static final Header vndContentType = new Header("Content-Type",

        "application/vnd.xxx.lrn.v1.yyy+jsonid")

public static final Header auth = new Header(" X-Authorization","access_token=xxxxxxx")

Headers headers = new Headers(vndContentType, auth);

given().log().all().headers(headers).body("").log().all().post(requestUrl);

I use the same format for my other api calls it works,  I still get the same error. I think the problem could be with the custom header definition.

What happens if you remove the leading space from " X-Authorization"? Do you get the same behavior?

Yes, same behavior.

Please try the latest snapshot (2.4.2-SNAPSHOT) to see if there's any difference. Just must add the following Maven repo:

<repositories>

        <repository>

            <id>sonatype</id>

            <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/</url>

            <snapshots />
