Why suddenly HttpOutCall not working, what happened?

Here is the error:

Can you share the whole request? We suspect it’s because of the headers you send

```
let request_headers = [
  { name = "Host"; value = host # ":443" },
  { name = "User-Agent"; value = "icp_google_agent" },
  { name = "Content-Type"; value = "application/json" },
  { name = "Idempotency-Key"; value = idempotency_key },
  { name = "accept"; value = "text/plain" },
  {
    name = apiEndpointSettings.api_key; 
    value = apiEndpointSettings.api_key_value; 
  }
];

```

It always worked

There was a recent change in the HTTPS Outcall feature to support HTTP/2.  
We didn’t anticipate this to be a breaking change, but it turned out that HTTP/2 doesn’t support setting the `Host` header in the request.

Please try to remove the following line, then the outcall should work again.

Problem is solved now, thanks for your time!

```auto
    let request_headers = [
