Really not my week is it.... Im doing an ordinary post to my clients api, but it wont work. I send over the post params like this:

r.addArgument("id", "theirid");
r.addArgument("pw",     "theirpass");  
r.setPost(true);
NetworkManager.getInstance().addToQueue(r);

I have done this a million times in cn1 and never had a problem, but for some reason his API reports the id is "null"..  and wont let me login... this is the same code ive used on other apps with no issue.. I also tried sending json body etc, same error..

It works in postman using post params... we also made a website to test it, where it works fine too... Is there some weird thing happening with post in CN1? or something I forgot?    

Also if he switches to GET and we do it that way it does work... any ideas?? Also the url is httpS, is there anything special I need to do ?

What does the network monitor say?  You can look at the post body there.

Post body is empty in there. Should that show post parameters though ?

I think it works with this order?

 r.setUrl(url); //this comes first ??
 r.setPost(true);
 r.addArgument("id", "theid);
 r.addArgument("pw", "thepws);

Meant:

r.setPost  comes first before you do the arguments ?

Yes it should show the post parameters in the request body.

thanks, nothing shows up in there, no idea, this code has worked on many apps for years. Can you verify it still works for you steve?

The order won't change anything because the call is useless. Had you invoked setPost(false) you would have gotten an exception but because the request is already a post request it doesn't do anything. Post body arrives just fine for my requests.
