I am unable to reproduce.

I used the following:

URL: http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts
Method: POST
Payload: {"title": "some title", "body": "bar", "userId": 1}
MIME: application/json

[ddavison]

Please if you could, paste your payload (and sensor anything sensitive). I have a feeling your JSON isn't valid. might want to try putting your json payload through a JSONLinter

[yanlinaung30]

@ddavison Thanks for your reply. It is right. JSON is not valid. String field does not have open & close inverted commas. It is OK when I put inverted commas. (y)

[ddavison]

oh perfect! I'm glad you figured it out :) thanks for opening an issue! If you find anything else, feel free to open another
