Send JSON or raw body

[cboden]

I'm trying to test a POST where the body type is expected to be JSON (not a query string):

POST /api HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Host: localhost

{"hello": "world"}

Is this possible?

Found #21

I couldn't find the source to the http://frisbyjs.com site. Is it available? I'd like to make a PR to the documentation on how to do this.

Unfortunately, the site is currently in a CMS, so that is why the source is not on GitHub. I do want to move it to a static site or GitHub pages, but it has not been done yet.

If you have the time I think it'd be beneficial to put a snippet of code on the API docs along the lines of:

frisby.create('Post JSON string as body')
    .post('http://httpbin.org/post', {
        arr: [1, 2, 3, 4],
        foo: "bar",
        bar: "baz",
        answer: 42
    }, {json: true})
    .expectHeaderContains('Content-Type', 'json')
.toss()

to show how to set a JSON object as the body as well as the appropriate JSON headers.

This has been added to the bottom of the API documentation page: http://frisbyjs.com/docs/api/

so site is still in CMS? documentation is really incomplete...

[vlucas]

No - the webiste is in hexo (a node.js static site builder) and lives here now: https://github.com/vlucas/frisby-site

"params2": 2}}
If the json raw body like this , how can I do to check this post?

I think its because Content-Length: xxx header i missing.
Look at this. http://www.json.org/JSONRequest.html for more details.
