I'm using curl to send POST request to web service http ://localhost 2325//Service How can I desirialize body of the POST request into a variable which I could then access within my POST method ? Can someone give me an example? This is my method [WebInvoke(RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, UriTemplate = "/user", Method = "POST")] public void Create(User us) Class User contains user_id and user_name. Can anyone please help? All I need is an example how to formulate POST request in curl Thanks
