Hi  
Im trying to use nodered as a Zapier/make.com for cheap people 🙂  
Have had great success so far with making http in - out and doing whatever I want in between, but now I have stumbled over something I can not figure out.

I am using a service called Ragic where I have created a Webhooks that post to an endpoint in Nodered. (POST). The node in nodered receives the message, but for some reason the BODY of the request is not there.

I have other http in POST nodes from other services that is working so thought it was something wrong with the service from Ragic, but when I try it out on weebhook.site it works and message is received.

Some printscreens below. Anyone who can help to figure this out?  
I am stuck..

The received Webhooks (without body)

The same Webhooks received in Webhooks.site service

Interestingly, if i change the `header.content-type` to `application/json; utf8` i get a 500 response.  
if i just set in to `application/json`, no errors.

Hi  
Its empty.  
By the way, I have to have "accept file uploads" marked otherwise I do not get the Webhooks in at all

I must admit - I can't pinpoint this.

One thing I am interested in, is the length?  
I know the web hook site is showing a length header, but is it present in Node RED?

`Content-Length` - and does it match the body length?  
and to ask the obvious - you're not fiddling with it before the debug?

It works here.

The json header should be like; ` "content-type": "application/json; charset=utf-8"` (you missed the charset=)
