Bad Request (400) for POST request to ASP.NET Core 6, minimal API, sent from Postman-CodePudding

why I get 400 bad request when testing ASP.NET CORE minimal API app with Postman?

Default VS 2022 ASP.NET core minimal API project, with following method handler:

app.MapPost("/test", (AnalizeSentenceRequest r) =>
{
    return Results.Ok($"Echo: {r.Sentence}");
});

DTO:

public class AnalizeSentenceRequest
{
    public string? Sentence { get; set; }
}

Windows 10 or Ubuntu curls works fine:

> curl -X POST http://localhost:5050/test -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"sentence\":\"testing\"}"

response:

"Echo: testing"

But Postman gets 400:

Postman headers:

Edit: Postman response:

It complains that it cannot bind to DTO AnalizeSentenceRequest r

I tried to add [FromBody] attribute to the handler:

([FromBody] AnalizeSentenceRequest r) => ...

but it makes no difference.

It works with curl though... So it looks like Postman is messing up with the body, but what it might be?

CodePudding user response：

Putting a check in the Content-Length checkbox in Postman. Reason being is that the Content-Length header is mandatory for messages with entity bodies, unless the message is transported using chunked encoding. Content-Length is needed to detect premature message truncation when servers crash and to properly segment messages that share a persistent connection.
