httpie adding quotes causing invalid json ?

[imiten]

Hi,

I am trying to send json as body and it seems its formatting json with additional quotes.

I am on cygwin on windows 7.

http --verbose --json --pretty all POST $URL_WS_JW/accounts/registration $api_headers  <<-REQ

I believe this is the same bug that has been fixed in #337, which will be included in the next release of HTTPie.

For the current version of HTTPie (<= 0.9.2): The problem goes away when you remove --json (which is actually superfluous in your case).
