Cannot POST or PUT JSON data without Content-type Header

[rajaravivarma-r]

As per the following example, given in the README POST /blogs.json '{"title" : "new post", "body" : "This is the new new."}' it should work without setting Content-type Header. But it doesn't.

Example: When the POST request is as follows POST /creator/files.json '{ "attributes": [ {"title": "New Book" } ] }' This is how Rails receives the parameter Parameters: {"{ \"attributes\": "=>{" {\"title\": \"New Book\" } "=>{" }"=>nil}}} The scenario remains the same when the input is read from a file or pipe echo '{ "attributes": [ {"title": "New Book" } ] }' | POST /creator/files.json

But when the POST request is made with Content-type as follows POST /creator/files.json '{ "attributes": [ {"title": "New Book" } ] }' -H 'Content-type: application/json' Rails receives the parameters properly as, {"attributes"=>[{"title"=>"New Book"}]}

Please add Content-type: application/json Header automatically if the URL ends with .json. Though I am not sure if this is applicable only for Rails.

Good idea, will do.

was already considering adding --json flag as alias of `-H 'Content-type: application/json'``

Not that you can place -H 'Content-type: application/json' in your config file so you don't have to precise it over and other.

Done in c4c739e, will land with the very soon 3.0 release.

A --json with set both Accept and Content-Type to json

closing the issue.
