JSON datasource POST method - always parses BODY that contains valid JSON? #244

Open APCIEngineering opened 6 years ago

APCIEngineering commented 6 years ago

I have an API that accepts POST requests with a body containing JSON data - works nicely from Postman, but I can't invoke it from Freeboard no matter how I try - it seems that anything in the Body which is valid JSON will get parsed prior to sending (while invalid JSON gets sent through unmolested - just to tease me). Is this supposed to be a feature? How about just sending the body text verbatim instead of second-guessing what I want done with it?
