Create body from capture

[schophil]

I want to use the body of a GET in the PUT of another request. The services respond JSON.

Something like this:

GET https://localhost/formconfigs/{{form_id}}
Authorization: Bearer {{access_token}}
HTTP 200
[Captures]
form_body: body

PUT http://localhost/formconfigs/{{form_id}}
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer {{access_token}}
{{form_body}}
HTTP 200

But this doesn't seem to work. I get:

error: Invalid JSON
  --> /tmp/test.hurl:27:3
   |
   | PUT http://localhost/{{form_id}}
   | ...
27 | {{form_body}}
   |   ^^^^^^^^^ actual value is <{...}>

Is there a way to make this work?

Ah I think I found the solution, this seems to to do the trick:

PUT http://localhost/formconfigs/{{form_id}}
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer {{access_token}}
```json
{{form_body}}
```
HTTP 200

Cna anyone conform this is the right way to do it?

Hi @schophil

This is the right way to do this see #2233 and my comment #2233 (comment)

Note that with the multiline string syntax ( ```json), you can omit to send the Content-Type header as Hurl infers it from the json "language hint":

PUT http://localhost/formconfigs/{{form_id}}
Authorization: Bearer {{access_token}}
```json
{{form_body}}
```
HTTP 200
