Frisby.JS - unexpected token ( when sending a POST with json

I'm getting the following error, 

 Error: Error parsing JSON string: Unexpected token <
    Given: <html>
<body>
<p>
  <b>400.</b> Invalid json request: numOfDays=1&amp;checkInDate=2013-04-10.
Make sure that key names and text values are quoted with "
</p>
</body>
</html>
Stacktrace:

using the following code:

var frisby = require('frisby');

  frisby.create('Ensure proper values in specified keys')
  .post('http://localhost:9090/bookRoom', {"numOfDays": 1 , "checkInDate":"2013-04-10"})
    .expectJSON({
        "checkInDate": "2013-04-10",
        "checkOutDate": "2013-04-11",
        "totalPrice": 130
    })
.toss()

I'm trying to pass this JSON - {"numOfDays": 1 , "checkInDate":"2013-04-10"}

EDIT:

It seems that the JSON being passed is in the following format. How do I get rid of those backslashes?

Handling booking request: "{\"numOfDays\":\"1\",\"checkInDate\":\"2013-04-10\"}"

Author of Frisby.js here. Please update to Frisby v0.8.5 - this is due to a change in the "request" module that Frisby depends on and uses.

I've just run into the same problem but I used different parameters for post. Precisely I added {json: true} as 3rd parameter and after a few minutes of struggling I removed it and it worked.

It looks your case might be the other way around. Try to put that 3rd parameter in the post method call and hope the best.
