POST: sending a post request in a url itself

Based on what you provided, it is pretty simple for what you need to do and you even have a number of ways to go about doing it. You'll need something that'll let you post a body with your request. Almost any programming language can do this as well as command line tools like cURL.

One you have your tool decided, you'll need to create your JSON body and submit it to the server.

An example using cURL would be (all in one line, minus the \ at the end of the first line):

curl -v -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST \     -d '{"name":"your name","phonenumber":"111-111"}' http://www.abc.com/details

The above command will create a request that should look like the following:

POST /details HTTP/1.1Host: www.abc.comContent-Type: application/jsonContent-Length: 44{"name":"your name","phonenumber":"111-111"}

You can post data to a url with JavaScript & Jquery something like that:

$.post("www.abc.com/details", {    json_string: JSON.stringify({name:"John", phone number:"+410000000"})});

It is not possible to send POST parameters in the url in a starightforward manner. POST request in itself means sending information in the body.

I found a fairly simple way to do this. Use Postman by Google, which allows you to specify the content-type(a header field) as application/json and then provide name-value pairs as parameters.

You can find clear directions at [2020-09-04: broken link - see comment] http://docs.brightcove.com/en/video-cloud/player-management/guides/postman.html

Just use your url in the place of theirs.

Hope it helps
