hi, does somebody mind pointing me at the right docs or method for how to access the original request (POST) body when a ContentConverter like the JacksonConverter is installed?

[Sergey Bondari]

in your route you can do something like

post("/foo") {
    call.receiveStream().use {
      // raw bytes from input body
    }
   // or
   call.receiveChannel() // will give you a ByteReadChannel primitive for the lowest level reading routine. 
}

there are many flavors of receive. When you have JSON transformer, you can do call.receive<Foo>() and it will attempt to deserialize payload into a Foo class instance

thank you, I will mess around with that 🙂
