Hi all, I have a simple script to POST data, but for some reason it is not posting the data: 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use MIME::Base64;
use JSON;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
push @{ $ua->requests_redirectable }, 'POST';

my $server_endpoint = "http://photos.mysite.com/api/1/upload/";
my $server_api_key = "xxxx";
my $encoded = "http://photos.mysite.com/128.jpg";

my $req = HTTP::Request->new(POST => $server_endpoint);
#$req->header('content-type' => 'multipart/form-data');
$req->header('content-type' => 'application/json');

my $post_json = {
    key    => $server_api_key,
    source => $encoded,
    format => "json",
};

my $post_data = encode_json($post_json);
$req->content($post_data);
printf "\n\n$post_data\n";

my $resp = $ua->request($req);
print $resp->as_string;

if ($resp->is_success) {
    my $message = $resp->decoded_content;
    print "Received reply: $message\n";
}
else {
    print "HTTP POST error code: ", $resp->code, "\n";
    print "HTTP POST error message: ", $resp->message, "\n";
}

You can see that the data is not being posted? I would expect to see something like: (which works when I use the Paw Client to do the POST) 
192.168.1.54 - - [03/Apr/2016:19:32:44 +1000] "POST /api/1/upload/?key
+=xxxx&format=json&source=http%3A%2F%2Fphotos.mysite.com%2F128.jpg HTT
+P/1.1" 200 2570 "-" "Paw/2.3.3  GCDHTTPRequest"

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, HW
