how to pass json?

See original GitHub issue

Hello Im really broke my head trying to pass json to cannon. I want to send application/json Let me show all cases that im try:

autocannon -m PUT -b "{\"playerId\":\"8797982347\" }" https://localhost:3434/player
autocannon -m PUT -b '{"playerId":"8797982347" }' https://localhost:3434/player
ofcourse autocannon -m PUT -b {"playerId":"8797982347" } https://localhost:3434/player
and many other cases like --body= or with --input.

And also I try more from this with -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Can somebody help me and tell what type of escaping I must use for sending json

Hi, I found the solution, it is necessary to specify the header so that it accepts the body.

Exemple: URL=http://localhost:3000/api/v1/login

npx autocannon $URL -m POST --header ‘Content-Type: application/json’ --body ‘{“username”: “USER_NAME”,“pass”: “PASS_123”}’ --connections 100 --duration 10 --pipelining 1 --renderStatusCodes

Must admit I can’t get this to work with express either using same variety of options.
