B4J Question How to post "raw" with okhttputils?

[MathiasM]

Hello

I wanted to use the OkHTTPUtils library to POST to an API.
This is the code I use:

Dim j As HttpJob
    j.Initialize("", Me)
    Dim json As JSONGenerator
    json.Initialize(CreateMap("Username":"admin", "Password":"admin"))
    j.PostString("http://localhost:10601/session", json.ToString)
    Wait For (j) JobDone(j As HttpJob)
    If j.Success Then
        Log(j.GetString)
    End If
    j.Release

This works, but when I check the transmitted packets via Wireshark I notice that the data is not send "raw" but rather via x-www-form-urlencoded.

How can I POST a string to a URL "raw", or how to set the content-type of a POST request?

Thanks

I fixed it:

j.PostString("http://localhost:10601/session", json.ToString)
j.GetRequest.SetContentType("application/json")

Previously I was trying to set the content type before the actual PostString method. Apparently it needs to be set after the PostString method.

Set HTTP Request Header with OkHttpUtils2

Description: The following code allows you to set the request headers before the request is sent. This is useful for example with sites that block requests without a User-Agent header. This code depends on HttpUtils2 and Http libraries: Dim j As HttpJob j.Initialize("job name", Me)...
