System.FormatException: The format of value '' is invalid.

See original GitHub issue

Hello there!

I’m trying to make a request like this

#r "nuget: FsHttp"

open FsHttp

http {
    POST "https://api.jspm.io/generate"
    body
    json ("""{
    "install": [ "lodash" ],
    "env": [ "browser", "module" ],
    "graph":true,
    "provider": "jspm"}""")
}
|> Request.send
|> Response.toText
|> printfn "%s"

the expected JSON content is the following

{
  "staticDeps": [
    "https://ga.jspm.io/npm:lodash@4.17.21/lodash.js"
  ],
  "dynamicDeps": [],
  "map": {
    "imports": {
      "lodash": "https://ga.jspm.io/npm:lodash@4.17.21/lodash.js"
    }
  },
  "graph": {
    "https://ga.jspm.io/npm:lodash@4.17.21/": {
      "lodash.js": {}
    }
  }
}

but I get the following instead

When I use nightingale I get this log, not sure if it helps at all
