Neo4j http Cypher query illegal character '{'

I am attempting to query Neo4j using a cypher query in http. I'm using Fiddler to write and send the request. Here is an example of a very simple query I've attempted.

POST http://localhost:7474/db/data/transaction/commit
Accept: application/json; charset=UTF-8
Content-Type: application/json
{ "statements" : [ { "statement" : "MATCH (n) RETURN id(n)" } ] }

No matter what, I get this error:

HTTP/1.1 400 Illegal character VCHAR='{'

What am I doing wrong here? Thanks.

Solution

  • The head of an HTTP request must be separated from the optional body by an empty line.

    In your example, there is no empty line before the body. If that example shows exactly what your request looks like, then that would be an error.
