Two things:
1) The content-length of your request (in your previous email) is 0,
suggesting there was no body submitted with the request. What is the
CURL command you're using to make the request?
2) HttpRequest.body should be request.body. HttpRequest is a class not
the request object (which is an instance of HttpRequest), so
HttpRequest.body isn't going to give you anything useful.
