Send POST data via raw json with postman

Question

I've got Postman (the one that doesn't open in Chrome) and I'm trying to do a POST request using raw json.

In the Body tab I have "raw" selected and "JSON (application/json)" with this body:

{
    "foo": "bar"
}

For the header I have 1, Content-Type: application/json

On the PHP side I'm just doing print_r($_POST); for now, and I'm getting an empty array.

If I use jQuery and do:

$.ajax({
    "type": "POST",
    "url": "/rest/index.php",
    "data": {
        "foo": "bar"
    }
}).done(function (d) {
    console.log(d);
});

I'm getting as expected:

Array
(
    [foo] => bar
)

So why isn't it working with Postman?

Just check JSON option from the drop down next to binary; when you click raw. This should do
