Parameters are not being sent when executing POST

the request payload IS being posted, but you are not setting the Body's Content-Type header ... or you are setting the wrong Content-Type header.

(I'm almost 99.9% certain this is the issue since I've been asked this all week, plz stop reading if that's not the case and let me know otherwise)

PHP (and other languages) expects the Content-Type header to be set to application/x-www-form-urlencoded so it would parse this string username=myun&password=mypw into a $_POST variable ... (and subsequently get picked up by Symphony and any other Framework as request parameters)

while this is a "typical" behavior for sending data through HTML forms, its not limiting, you can send a payload of username=myun&password=mypw and tell the server its application/xml if you wish ... its up to the client library to determine what to set the Content-Type header to, and to the server to determine how interpret the request body as, based on the Content-Type header it receives ...

in the previous version I had set that field to be set to application/x-www-form-urlencoded by default, since most of the time that is the case, but in this version I left everything bare so that the developer can decide where to start.

I thought it wasn't an issue, but based on how many people have complained about POST data not being sent, maybe I'll make it pre-populated again, but a little background info doesn't hurt ...
