POST'ing an XML body? about faraday HOT 3 CLOSED

Closed this issue, it turns out that I needed to create a custom XML request middleware, and it's working fine. I'm just using the ActiveSupport's Hash#to_xml extension for my needs. This was done here: https://github.com/ryanlecompte/letsfreckle-client/tree/master/lib/faraday

Hey @ryanlecompte, it seems that you have request middleware figured out. But, I noticed you're posting XML payloads to Freckle, which is a Rails app, and that doesn't have much sense because Rails apps accept JSON as well. JSON is quicker to serialize, takes less bytes, you need fewer dependencies and there is a Request::JSON middleware right there in Faraday core. You simply need to put it on your stack and post ruby hashes/arrays with :content_type => 'application/json'.

Thanks Mislav! I will definitely switch to this when I get the time. :)
