POSTing data to REST interface - RejectedSoftware Forums

Hi,

I have a generated rest interface and some functions should accept POST data.

This is a part of my interface:

Json getJson(HTTPServerRequest req, HTTPServerResponse res)
{
  return req.json;
} 

interface IRESTApi
{
  @method(HTTPMethod.POST)
  @path("/rest/job/:id/configure/")
  @before!getJson("data")
  @property Json configureJob(string _id, Json data);
}

According to documentation, HTTPServerRequest.json should contain the parsed Json of a JSON request. How does such a JSON request looks like? I tried to send it in many possible forms but the json is always undefined.

I've tried variations of this:

$.ajax({
      type: "POST",
      url: addr,
      data: JSON.stringify({"hello":"world"}),
      dataType: "json"
  })

and this

$.ajax({
      type: "POST",
      url: addr,
      data: {"hello":"world"},
      dataType: "json"
  })

but to no awail.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Drasha
