Hi,

My dropwizard server cant parse any json sent by DF(2.1)  
I dont know what is wrong with this call… Sending the same data using Postman, works like a charm.

```
var options = {
  "CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER": [
      "Content-Type: application/json",
      "Cache-Control: no-cache"]
};
var payload = {
    "deviceId": "d7d8ede787de78d7"
};

result = platform.api.post("http://localhost:8080/v1/registry", payload, options);

```

Dropwizard log:

Any help will be appreciated.  
Thanks!

Not sure though but can you try passing the payload this way

```
var payload = { 
"resource": [
     { 
        "deviceId": "d7d8ede787de78d7"
     }
  ] 
};
```

@m_menon, I tried your suggestion, but didnt work.

The trick in this case is use JSON.stringify(payload)… without resource.
