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:

Fiddler Web Debugger:Composer section; settings
Parsed
POST,../Service.svc/Login,HTTP/1.1
Request Header:
User-Agent: Fiddler
Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8
Host: localhost:15021
Content-Length: 43
Request Body:
{"username":"ABC","password":"pwd"}
and then execute
