[Mono-dev] POSTing objects in JSON format...

[Atsushi Eno]

Hello,

Our WebHttpBinding does support json-based requests and responses.
There is a lot of possibilities why you don't get json response instead
of xml, and I can't give you an answer with almost no information.
If you file a bug with the steps to configure and run the service, I'll
have a look.
