in reply to curl http post

Hi,

I ran your code and got:

Bad header argument at 1185916.pl line 20.
... don't you?

Also, I believe the correct name for one of the HTTP headers you employ is 'Content-Type' (note capitalization)(edit: I was wrong about that, thx beech.)

... and the value of your 'Authorization' header looks like it might be missing some punctuation?

Edit: Also, the server at the URL in your code doesn't respond ...

Try something like the following, with your real URL, header value, etc. Note that HTTP::Tiny and JSON are both Perl core modules so you already have them installed.

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use HTTP::Tiny; use JSON; use Data::Dumper; my $url = "https://site.com/api/inforequests"; my $json = encode_json { name => 'john', country => 'ca', email => 'john@email.com', }; my $http = HTTP::Tiny->new( default_headers => { Authorization => 'Token xert345llkd736gdy3', } ); my $response = $http->post( $url => { content => $json, headers => { 'Content-Type' => 'application/json' }, }); if ( $response->{'is_success'} ) { print Dumper( decode_json $response->{'content'} ); } else { print "$response->{'status'} $response->{'reason'}\n"; } __END__

Hope this helps!

    Hi,

    http header names are case insensitive, capitalization does not matter

      Updated, thx!
