CGI and JSON

[Jesus Guardon <ea7dfh@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all

Currently I'm trying to get running my first web application to build an 
API Rest Service using JSON to send data back and forth.

I am using Request.Post to retrieve the content of a raw Json POST data 
with "application/json" header mimetype, but I have no idea how to get 
the raw content in the request.Post function.

I know how to do it by sending my data as "x-www-form-urlencoded" and it 
works, but instead I would like to get the entire body of the post 
response. That is how other devs do it in other languages and seems to 
be the standard way to deal with JSON data.

When I print CGI.Dump() after my request I can see in the 
"CONTENT_LENGHT" environment variable the correct lenght of the sent 
data, but there doesn't seem to be a way to retrieve the actual data.

Benoît, would you shed some light over this?

By the way, I'm using Postman as a tool for crafting the POST requests 
and it's really a great tool.

Thanks in advance
