JSON post request being weird

[Seijboldt]

Hi,
I've garbled a script I found, but for some reason my API is refusing the JSON content.
Maybe I've got a typo or I'm just slow..

Here is my current code:

Code:

require('socket.http')
require('json')
require("ltn12")
body = '{"fault": true,"instID": "string","value": 0,"name": "string"}'
response = {}
start = grp.getvalue('12/4/0')

socket.http.request({
      url = "http://192.168.1.69/docs",
   method = 'POST',
     sink = ltn12.sink.table(response),
  headers = {
        ['accept'] = 'application/json',
     ['content-type'] = 'application/json',
            },
      source = ltn12.source.string(body),
        })
log(response,headers)

That results in this: 

Code:

string: {"detail":[{"type":"missing","loc":["body"],"msg":"Field required","input":null}]}

Which I could probably live with as it's just missing some or all values in the JSON format, but I decided to try it through CURL and that works and returns 201 success:

Code:

curl -X 'POST' \
  'http://192.168.1.69/docs' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"fault": true,"instID": "string","value": 0,"name": "string"}'

I've tried enclosing "true" and "0" in " but that doesn't make a difference.


Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
