Is this the correct way of doing a post in HTTPoison?
Background
I have a POST request that I do using CURL the following way:
curl --data “reqCode=validateOfficeDetails&currLanguage=ca_ES” -X POST Generalitat de Catalunya - Oficina virtual de tràmits ciutadans
My objective is to replicate this request using HTTPoison.
Code
Thus far, this is how I am doing it:
HTTPoison.post("https://ovt.gencat.cat/gsitfc/AppJava/citpre/citpre.do", "reqCode=validateOfficeDetails&currLanguage=ca_ES", [{"Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"}])
But I am unsure this is the way to go because I am placing the --data parameters in what is the body.
Is this correct?

POST data is sent in the request body, so I’d say yes 
You are correctly setting the Content-Type to form urlencoded, matching your data.
We are so used to HTTP abstractions that it’s easy to forget how HTTP is really just text: request method, headers and body, it’s that simple

I would say yes? Is it not working?
