cURL works for my REST API but Guzzle not

I am trying to connect my Laravel framework to my server using Guzzle. Every GET request without parameters but I have problems with POST.

This request using cURL works fine:

curl -i -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"email":"[e-mail]", "pwd":"xxxxxx"}' http://www.example.com:1234/rest/user/validate

And this is what I have tried to implement with Guzzle:

$response = GuzzleHttppost('http://www.example.com:1234/rest/user/validat', [
            'headers' => ['Content-Type' => 'application/json'],
            'body'    => ['{"email":"[e-mail]", "pwd":"xxxxxx"}']
]);     
print_r($response->json());

When I make the request, I get the next error:

[status code] 415 [reason phrase] Unsupported Media Type

I think is something related to body but I don’t know how to solve it.

Any idea?

Answer

There’s no need to have the square brackets around the body value. Also, make sure there is an Accept header defined. You should use this instead:

$response = GuzzleHttppost('http://www.example.com:1234/rest/user/validat', [
        'headers' => ['Content-Type' => 'application/json', 'Accept' => 'application/json'],
        'body'    => '{"email":"[e-mail]", "pwd":"xxxxxx"}'
]);     
print_r($response->json());
