All of them complain Expression \"None\" cannot be exported as JSON. Upon closer inspection, I found that HTTPRequestData[\"Body\"] remains None for some reason. \r\n\r\nWhat would be the best way to deal with JSON payloads in POST requests? It may be helpful to know that the above function works fine when deployed in Wolfram Application Server.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/s4m13337","@type":"Person","name":"s4m13337"},"datePublished":"2024-03-24T08:51:42.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/11/WolframWebEngineForPython/issues/11"}
