Send HTTPBody data with restkit


I'm using a firefox tool call "Poster" to check that my web service is working. When I POST the request I send a JSON object in the content to send (also call HTTP body data).
When I press the POST button the result is fine. enter image description here

Now I want to do exactly the same with RestKit in objective-c:

    NSString *squery = @"{\"Sort\":\"Relevance\",\"DaysToSearch\":0,\"WorkType\":\"\",\"PageSize\":20,\"LastRunCount\":0,\"IndustryCodes\":[\"\"],\"AccountId\":27,\"Experience\":\"\",\"GetResultCount\":0,\"Keywords\":\"iOS\",\"PageIndex\":0,\"DistanceFromLocation\":\"250\",\"SalaryType\":\"\",\"JobQueryId\":\"\",\"JobTitleCodes\":[\"\"]}";

RKObjectLoader *objectLoader = [[RKObjectManager sharedManager] objectLoaderWithResourcePath:url delegate:performJobQueryHandler];
objectLoader.method = RKRequestMethodPOST;
objectLoader.objectMapping = s.jobQueryDataMapper;
objectLoader.HTTPBody = [squery dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
objectLoader.serializationMIMEType = RKMIMETypeJSON;
[objectLoader send];

As a result I get: "An non-fault exception is occured."




In the FireFox extension "Poster" if I use a different mine-type than "application/json", let say "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" I get the same error: "An non-fault exception is occured."
Is something wrong with objectLoader.serializationMIMEType = RKMIMETypeJSON; ???

Ok I think I find out.

I activated RestKit debug with

RKLogConfigureByName("RestKit/Network", RKLogLevelTrace);

And I get:

2012-02-14 11:55:48 [4048:207] T restkit.network:RKRequest.m:318 Prepared POST URLRequest '<NSMutableURLRequest http://servicestest.foo.com/jobservice/jobservice.svc/json/jobquery>'. HTTP Headers: {
Accept = "application/json";
"Content-Type" = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
}. HTTP Body: Sort=Relevance&DaysToSearch=0&WorkType=&SalaryType=&LastRunCount=0&IndustryCodes[]=&Experience=&AccountId=0&GetResultCount=0&PageIndex=0&DistanceFromLocation=250&PageSize=20&JobQueryId=&JobTitleCodes[]=.

So I think using RKObjectLoader object don't care about objectLoader.serializationMIMEType = RKMIMETypeJSON; because the Content-Type remain "Content-Type" = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"; instead of "Content-Type" = "application/json";

Do you think it's a bug or the normal behavior ?
