In 2017 versions of PhpStorm / WebStorm there is a REST client we can use to send requests and analyze responses.
By default, when I send a POST and use the easy form in the UI to create request params, the parameters are formatted as x-www-form-urlencoded
instrument=JPY&id=6
I want to send data as JSON. So I thought if I add the content-type: application/json
header, the IDE would format the request params accordingly, but it doesn't.
Currently the only way I see to send stuff in JSON format is to craft the JSON myself and put it in the Request Body as Text section of the IDE
Am I missing an easy way to send JSON?
