JSON Upload

[kennethreitz]

We download it but don't upload it. Asymmetrical.

r = requests.post('http://httpbin.org/post', json={'life': 42'})

This is really easy to do. I'm curious though, what made you change your mind about this?

Tagging this as contributor friendly because it's perfect for @sigmavirus24 to pair with a new developer on.

cool!

Did anyone already start working on it ? If not, I would be interested in giving it a try ...

[sigmavirus24]

@willingc and I are working on this.

[sahildua2305]

Is anyone still working on it? Otherwise I will be happy to work on this as my first issue ever. Please let me know if I can contribute. :)

[sigmavirus24]

Yes they are. Please be patient.

I've just been doing requests.post('http://httpbin.org/post', data=json.dumps({'life':42})); is there some limitation I'm missing about doing that way?

[Lukasa]

@gbromios That's the only way to do it at the moment. Note, however, that the Content-Type is wrong. =)

[gbromios]

ah, so convert to a string and override the Content-Type header in one step. That seems reasonable.

[kennethreitz]

Yeah — basically if we do it on one side (download), we should also do it on the other (upload). Nice and symmetrical.
