Sorry if this caused troubles!

Dear Christian et al,
moving to basex 11.7 today I've found out that it is not necessary to
serialize the body content in an http-request such as [1]. If I do (as I
had to up to Basex 10.7) the body is no longer understood.
Now I obtsain correct behaviour when using code as in [2].
Can you confirm this change in behaviour? And if yes, this has a huge
impact on the many many http calls we have so maybe it should be documented?
Thanks a lot as usual!

[1]
let $body := json:serialize(<json type="object"/>)
return
<http:request href="url" method="POST">
<http:body media-type="application/json">{$body}</http:body>
</http:request>
[2]
let $body := <json type="object"/>
return
<http:request href="url" method="POST">
<http:body media-type="application/json">{$body}</http:body>
</http:request>
