Sorry for not being clear. I'm OK on the server side because I'm writing it
in Java and am using json-lib to read the body of the post. But for testing
I want to write a webpage that can do a POST from an HTML form
<form>
First name: <input type="text" name="firstname"><br>
Last name: <input type="text" name="lastname"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
With that code the body is not in JSON format. I was wondering if there was
a simple way to make any form put the body in JSON format. Or lacking that,
at least how to hand-craft it so that it is. I found some javascript code
online but it didn't work, that is what I was alluding to.
