Allow credentials to be sent as JSON

[flo-sch]

Hi,

Thanks for this bundle, it works great so far :)

I was just wondering, would it be possible to allow credentials to be sent both a a JSON object or application/x-www-form-urlencoded data?

It just makes more sense, as the response is sent in the JSON format anyway.
Basically, in addition to this request:

POST /api/login HTTP/1.1
Host: https://whatever.domain.org

_username="any-name"&_password="any-password"

Allow this one also:

POST /api/login HTTP/1.1
Host: https://whatever.domain.org
Content-Type: "application/json"

{
    "_username": "any-name",
    "_password": "any-password"
}

Hi,

I don't think that's the bundle's role to handle the request format. Currently all examples are based on the form_login provided by Symfony wich expects application/x-www-form-urlencoded, so if you want to keep using it you will have to implement a request listener which will convert your json payload to the appropriate format. FOSRestBundle provides such a listener.

Hope it helps !

Oh, okay, I just did not know it would work with a RequestListener!
Thanks, I'll carry it myself so :)
