sending POST request to azure ML Web service using poster

Question

I have successfully deployed a web service using Azure ML and am able to get output both on Azure ML as well as a sample R client application.

I would like to however get response using the firefox poster.

I have followed the instructions from the Azure page on deploying the web service and tried using the same request headers and parameters as follows

Instructions from azure page

this is what I've tried on Poster

How can I form a correct URL which works?

Answer 1

The "Content to Send" section is incorrect, you have specified URL-encoded, while you need to put application/json.
