I've written a small piece of code that is supposed to place an order in a order handling system. get, put and delete functions are working great but I cannot get post to function at all... the error I get back from the code below is 400 (bad request). I think it has something to do with the headers but I don't know how to get more info out of this. Is there a problem with the way I am handling the post method?
Thank you for your input!!
