Example HTTP request with a JSON body

This is an example of a HTTP request with a JSON body.

 POST /genapp/customers/
Host: www.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: nn  1 

{
   "customers":
  {
    "firstName": "Joe”,
    "lastName": “Bloggs”,
    "fullAddress": 
    {
        "streetAddress": "21 2nd Street",
        "city": "New York",
        "state": "NY",
        "postalCode": 10021
    }
  }
}

Where the Content-Length: nn 1 is the length of your request.
