Request body is empty while making post request from "reqwest" crate rust - rust

Question

I am trying to make post request using reqwest crate of rust. Here is the snippet of cargo.toml
[dependencies]
tokio = { version = "0.2", features = ["full"] }
reqwest = { version = "0.10", features = ["json"] }
Here is the snippet of code from which I am making request to simple server.
use reqwest::{Response, StatusCode};
use serde_json::{json, Value};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result< (), reqwest::Error> {
let map1 = json!({
"abc":"abc",
"efg":"efg"
});
let body: Value = reqwest::Client::new()
.post("http://localhost:4000/hello")
.json(&map1)
.send()
.await?
.json()
.await?;
println!("Data is : {:?}", body);
Ok(())
}
The snippet of the code written using simple server crate from which I am serving this request is below:
use simple_server::{Server, StatusCode};
fn main() {
let server = Server::new(|req, mut response| {
println!(
"Request received {} {} {:?}",
req.method(),
req.uri(),
&req.body()
);
match (req.method().as_str(), req.uri().path()) {
("GET", "/") => Ok(response.body(format!("Get request").into_bytes())?),
("POST", "/hello") => Ok(response.body(format!("Post request").into_bytes())?),
(_, _) => {
response.status(StatusCode::NOT_FOUND);
Ok(response.body(String::from("Not Found").into_bytes())?)
}
}
});
server.listen("127.0.0.1", "4000");
}
The output I get is :
Request received POST /hello []
The desired output is the vector array of bytes but I am receiving a empty vector array.
The solutions which I have already tried are:
Making a post request using Postman to the same server and it is working fine.
Making a post request using the same reqwest code to any other server such as hyper, actix, etc and it is working fine.
Sending a simple body as a body of post request (no JSON ). But the same issue occurs.
So I think the issue must be with this simple server crate.
Every worthy suggestion will be Encouraged.

use reqwest::{Response, StatusCode};
use serde_json::{json, Value};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<String> {
let map1 = json!({
"abc":"abc",
"efg":"efg"
});
let body: Value = reqwest::Client::new()
.post("http://localhost:4000/hello")
.json(&map1)
.send()
.await?
.json()
.await?;
println!("Data is : {:?}", body);
let resp = serde_json::to_string(&body).unwrap();
Ok(resp)
}
