I have a Phoenix api that needs to make a couple of post requests. I am fully aware that there are easier options for me than calling :httpc from erlang, but I started trying it out and now I’m curious as to why my request is working.
When I make the following request, the Flask API which I’m calling does not register any params being passed in the body. (Note: remember this is calling erlang in elixir and is not raw erlang)
:httpc.request(:post, {'https://thecorrecturl.com', [], 'application/json', 'any body at all'}, [], [])
To be clear, I am successfully hitting the endpoint, it’s just “any body at all” doesn’t get through. I’ve tried different variations of ‘{“key”:“value”}’ but nothing ever gets through (backslashed quotes, backslashed single quotes, nothing).
What am I missing to post this json body?

works fine for me. You should probably check your flask app.

This is what I get for trying things when I have one foot out the door. I’ll be having a word with my python developer tomorrow lol (I don’t think request.get_json() is being used if I had to guess)
