Did you not look at the solution I posted? It should solve your issue. You
are simply working with JSON, it's easy to add objects to your JSON as I
presented in my solution. Please go back and re-read it. And if it didn't
work, please tell me wny. I do this sort of stuff all the time. I compose
JSON to send to the server for all my calls.
