Sending an array with HTTP requests

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello!

I was wondering if it was possible to send an array/table using Lua and HTTP requests.

The issue I am facing is that I am not sure how to send anything other than a string.

What I am trying to send is the following:

	local options = {
		Url = "https://myProject.glitch.me/post",
		Method = "POST",
		Headers = {
			["Content-Type"] = "text/plain"
		},
		Body = {
			["Status"] = status,
			["Tag"] = tag
		}
	}

However, this error is outputted from the server I’m posting to:

Invalid request options, Body should be a string

Any ideas? Willing to show my Java code as well, however I’m not sure it’s relevant for my current issue.

You can use HTTP Service’s, JSONEncode() method.

Before sending an array with HTTP, make sure to HTTP:JSONEncode() it.
