I am able to connect to my services using http\_poller for all the GET services.

I have some POST service to monitor which accepts a json body

Input -  
{  
"AreaCode": "111",  
"CountryCode" : "01",  
"Number": "1231231"  
}

How can I pass this request ?

I tried this but got 400 - Bad Request. Saw my appln. logs, the input request was null.

mapping =\>  
{  
"body" =\>  
{  
AreaCode =\> "111",  
CountryCode =\> "01",  
Number =\> "1231231"  
}  
}

The format is wrong. Couldnt get the precise one. Please help.

Got one step ahead. Corrected the request body -

body =\> '{ "AreaCode": "123","CountryCode": "01","Number": "1231231" }'

But now I am getting "response\_message" =\> "Unsupported Media Type".

I have already specified it in the header -

headers =\> { Accept =\> "application/json" }

What am I missing here ?

Got the fix.

Replaced in the header section -

"Content-Type" =\> "application/json"
