Post request and conversion to binary type

[Gusyatnikova]

Hi, @leopku, you can try to add by yourself something like this:

1. To pkg/stdlib/types file to_binary.go with function

func ToBinary(ctx context.Context, args ...core.Value) (core.Value, error) {
	err := core.ValidateArgs(args, 1, 1)

	if err != nil {
		return values.None, err
	}

	val := args[0].String()

	return values.NewBinary([]byte(val)), nil
}

2. To pkg/stdlib/types/tib.go add raw to RegisterLib func
   "TO_BINARY": ToBinary,

3. In your script use
   `Let binaryBody = to_binary('"id"=15')
   LET result = IO::NET::HTTP::POST({

   url: "https://httpbin.org/post",

   body: binaryBody,

   headers: {"Content-Type": "application/json"}

})
`

The reason of this error is absence of to_binary in ferret

Hello!

You can use to_binary function:
Let binaryBody = to_binary('"id"=15')

Hope it helps,
Natalia

Does not work:
compile query: not found: function: 'TO_BINARY'

@errshoff didn't you try to pass req instead of JSON_STRINGIFY(req)?

[errshoff]

@3timeslazy I tried. The result is the same:
invalid type: expected [binary], but got object

[leopku]
