postBodyArguments doesn't support Collections

[AllDmeat]

I'm sending array of objects via network. It's Codable converted to Data and set into URLRequest. But postBodyArguments getter tries to cast it to [String: Any], thus I'm getting nil when accessing it.

URLRequest's extension containing httpBodyStreamData() is private and thus I can't get Data by myself and convert it to [[String: Any]].

As a workaround I've copypasted your URLRequest's extension into my tests and modified it to cast to [[String: Any]]. It's working properly but leads to code duplication.

Generics would have solved this problem

func postBodyArguments<T>() -> T? {
    guard let httpBody = httpBodyStreamData() ?? httpBody else { return nil }
    return try? JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: httpBody, options: .fragmentsAllowed) as? T
}

let array: [[String: Any]] = postBodyArguments()
let dict: [String: Any] = postBodyArguments()

I just ran into the same issue using Alamofire 5 with the Session.request(_:method:parameters:encoder:headers:interceptor:requestModifier:) method. httpBodyArguments is now just nil in the tests mock.onRequest handlers :-(
