Laravel Requests never contain post data

I'm using Laravel 5.1 and I'm unable to use its Request injection.

If I print_r($request->all()), I get an empty array:

Array
(
    [\] => 
)

But when I check Request::getContent(), it shows that I have content.

{"test": "test"}

Why is this? I have never had this problem before.

My controller method

public function state(Requests\CheckState $request) {
    print_r($request->all());
    print_r($request->getContent());
}

My Request

class CheckState extends Request
{
    /**
     * Determine if the user is authorized to make this request.
     *
     * @return bool
     */
    public function authorize()
    {
        return true;
    }

    /**
     * Get the validation rules that apply to the request.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function rules()
    {
        return [

        ];
    }
}

When sending raw JSON data to Laravel, be sure to specify Content-Type: application/json

This is because the Request class checks for JSON content this way:

/**
 * Determine if the request is sending JSON.
 *
 * @return bool
 */
public function isJson()
{
    return Str::contains($this->header('CONTENT_TYPE'), '/json');
}

If the header is omitted, the framework assumes the request is plaintext.
