WCF Rest service POST method fails in Fiddler

I'm using WCF Restservice to authenticate user. I have a POST method and works fine using jquery but fails on Fiddler test. I get 415 Unsupported Media Type.

Here is my code

[OperationContract]
    [WebInvoke(Method = "POST", UriTemplate = "Login", ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.WrappedRequest)]
    public string Login(string userName, string password)
    {
        string valid;

        // Log in user
        int authenticatedId = AuthenticateManager.Authenticate(userName, password);
        if (authenticatedId != -1)
        {
            valid = "Welcome " + userName + "!";
        }
        else
        {
            valid = "Login failed!";
        }

        return valid;
    }

This is what I'm passing in Fiddler body

[{ "userName":"dusshyi", 
   "password":"subram1" }]

This is what fiddler generating

Have you set the Content-Type of the request to application/json in Fiddler's Request body editor?

I had the same problem this morning...

What fixed it for me was to click on the "Composer" tab, then add the following to the "Request Headers" section:

Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Without this line, I noted that the log showed it was attempting to call my REST Service with a Content-Type of "text/html", and the Service wouldn't get called.

This would even happen if I added the line:

Content-Type: application/json

However, after adding the line "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded", Fiddler would now call the service with a Content Type of "application/json", and the web service was called correctly. Strange...

I've created a complete walkthough of creating a JSON WCF Web Service, and testing it with Fiddler, on the following page:
