How to make a post with a from data of empty json through HTTPie?

Question

I'm wondering how to make a POST request with a from data of empty json through HTTPie? The corresponding Curl solution is here:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{}' http://ooxx.asdf/

Answer 1

Verbatim request data can be specified via redirected STDIN:

$ echo '{}' | http httpbin.org/post

---

Note that for requests that include a body:

• POST is the default HTTP method
• application/json is the default Content-Type

Answer 2

http POST ooxx.asdf/ Content-Type:application/json '{}'

Another option using json file that contains {}:

http POST ooxx.asdf/ < file.json

Answer 3

Use <<< operator like below.

http POST ooxx.asdf/ Content-Type:application/json <<< '{}'
