Steps to reproduce

When using a POST, ContentType is automatically set to application/x-www-form-urlencoded

 invoke-restmethod https://webhook.site/6a5097af-3644-4462-9d92-d910088d2f4d -Method POST -Body @{ Test = "test" }

When using other methods, it is not. It is blank.

 invoke-restmethod https://webhook.site/6a5097af-3644-4462-9d92-d910088d2f4d -Method PUT -Body @{ Test = "test" }

Expected behavior

I would expect that the content type would default to form encoded for all request methods (or at least for PUT).

Actual behavior

It is only set to form encoded for POST.

Error details

No errors.
