Straight from the ref-doc
import groovyx.net.http.HttpBuilder
def body = [
"test": "test",
"test1": "test1\n\t",
"test2": [
"test3": "test3",
"test4": "test4"
]
]
def result = HttpBuilder.configure {
request.uri = 'https://xyxz/api/testRequest/generic'
request.headers.id = 'sadasdas1212134'
request.headers.id2 = 'sdsd34sdsfdfdfdf'
request.contentType = 'application/json'
request.body = body
}.post()
println result
