I am having difficulties setting XML in request body to a http_poller endpoint. When I set the request body in http_poller endpoint is showing error

My conf file

    input {
  http_poller {
	schedule => { cron => "* * * * * UTC"}
    # List of urls to hit
    # URLs can either have a simple format for a get request
    # Or use more complex HTTP features
    urls =>  {
      some_other_service => {
        method => "post"
        url => "I have removed the url due to securuty purposes"            
        headers => {
          Accept => "application/xml"
        }   
	body => {
	'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><ReqListLocation><User><Login>username111</Login><Password>password!</Password></User><Location><Disabled>1</Disabled><Type>P</Type></Location></ReqListLocation>'
        }   
      }
    }
    # Maximum amount of time to wait for a request to complete
    request_timeout => 30
    # How far apart requests should be
    #interval => 60
    # Decode the results as xml
    codec => "xml"
    # Store metadata about the request in this key
    metadata_target => "http_poller_metadata"
  }
    }
    output {
      stdout {
        codec => rubydebug
      }
    }

body => "..."

not

body => { "..." }

Though I can't see any documentation of the body option.
