    Here's the reply from Support

     

    Hello,

Under the Project tab configure the request as a POST instead of a GET. When you pass Sample requests into a testcase they still take the config from their parent in the projects tab.

    But I already have the request on POST Method on the Project tab, but it still does a GET Method on the Raw Request.

    After looking further on my Project, the POST Method Request will have a redirect response.

    By default the Request Properties will have Follow Redirects = true

     

    I changed that property to false, and VOILA! it changes into Post.

    Please see screenshot below

    I don't really have a clear answer on this but I guess on my project, if the POST Request will respond into a redirect, I just have to set the Follow Redirects to false to ensure that the request will do a Post.

     

    I don't know if this really helps, but these solves my problem

I want to bump this post because I have the same issue where I have a Post Method but it was being set to Get

I am using licensed Ready API. Is this a bug on ReadyApi?

 

the Post Method redirects the user to /home

But I don't know why it changes to Get

 

Please see screenshot

Hi Guys,

 

This sounds like an issue in Ready! API 1.5. iano, are you using Ready! API 1.5.0 as well?

I recommend that you submit this behavior to our Ready! API Support Team so that they could investigate it. You can do this by filling in the following Contact Support form: https://support.smartbear.com/product-list/
