    copied!<p>I have found some behaviour of Flask-restful caused I think by Werkzeug/0.9.4 that I do not understand. It seems that the use of Multidict is breaking my data when I try to POST valid JSON that contains a "=".</p> <p>Here's my test JSON:</p> <pre><code>{ "alert": { "@id": "90", "action": "hoojimaflip", "fruit": { "@bowl": "bananas", "@protocol": "tcp" }, "url": "https://this-is-a-sample/paramer?id=90" } } </code></pre> <p>Here is the POST method.</p> <pre><code>def post(self): f1=open("./log", 'w+') data = request.json if not data: # I know this is not equivalent to the JSON above. # Just troubleshooting by dumping it all out. data = request.form print &gt;&gt;f1, data return ('', 201) </code></pre> <p>If I POST using cURL with application/json it's fine. I get the POSTed JSON correctly in request.data. I will need to render it back to JSON later, but no issue.</p> <pre><code>{ u'alert': { u'@id': u'90' u'action': u'hoojimaflip', u'fruit': { u'@bowl': u'bananas', u'@protocol': u'tcp' }, u'url': u'https://this-is-a-sample/paramer?id=90', } } </code></pre> <p>If I post via cURL with application/x-www-form-urlencoded, then I should be able to get the data in request.form. But, it seems that something is breaking my data.</p> <pre><code>ImmutableMultiDict([(' { "alert": { "@id": "90", "action": "hoojimaflip", "fruit": { "@bowl": "bananas", "@protocol": "tcp" }, "url": "https://this-is-a-sample/paramer?id', u'90" } }' )]) </code></pre> <p>The "=" sign is being used as some kind of record separator and breaking the POSTed JSON.</p> <p>Does anyone have any ideas? Am I missing something obvious?</p> <p>Thanks!</p>
