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

[Eduardo Segura]

Hi Atsushi,

Thanks for the quick answer. I'm attaching a solution with a simple
service. The method I'm trying to call is the one receiving two
composite types.

Could you quickly verify if this works for you? Sorry I didn't file a
bug or gave more details earlier today, but I thought it was just me
cutting my teeth with mono.

Bjorg, you might actually be on the right track. I did try to feed the
service with some well-formed xml, and the exceptions changed
immediately. Maybe it's something related to the selection of the mime
type? I'm using 'Poster' (firefox add-on) to hand-craft my post
requests to the service. The mime type I'm using is application/json,
as defined in RFC 4627

Thanks for the help,
Best,
