Variables Object wrapped in double quotes

See original GitHub issue

According to the GraphQL spec, the variables key in the body should be sent as an Object. GraphiQL client sends this as a string which can cause unexpected behaviour on other GraphQL servers which follow the spec.

operationName:"getFilms"
query:"query getFilms($first: Int){↵  allFilms(first: $first) {↵    edges {↵      node {↵        id↵        title↵      }↵    }↵  }↵}↵"
variables:"{"first": 2}"
