if_http_client->request->set_cdata - Result Double quotes around entire body

[DarcyMorse]

I am trying to do a Web Service Call.  I am using if_http_client-Request->set_cdata and append_cdata2. 

The beginning and ending double quotes shouldn't be included.  Any ideas of what needs to be changed to fix this? 

Below is the code that I tried

  wa_patch_body-keyfield = 'NeverGonnaGiveYouUp'. 

CREATE OBJECT ref_json_serializer
    EXPORTING
      data = wa_patch_body.
  ref_json_serializer->serialize( ).
  g_body = ref_json_serializer->get_data( ).

*  ref_http_client->request->set_cdata(
*      exporting
*        data = g_body ).

ref_http_client->request->append_cdata2(
       exporting
         data = g_body ).

Both result in the follow results in Postman:

"{keyfield: "NeverGonnaGiveYouUp"}"

I don't understand your question. The double quotes are required in JSON to represent texts:

{keyfield: "NeverGonnaGiveYouUp"}

What is your question?

It would be better to understand your question if you post a screenshot of Postman.

the result I am getting is 

"{keyfield: "NeverGonnaGiveYouUp"}"

  I need it to look like:

{keyfield: "NeverGonnaGiveYouUp"}

I think it's added by Postman, the double quotes around don't really exist.

Which screen is it in Postman? I only know this kind of basic screen:

[DarcyMorse]

It is the mock server screen where it shows the error.  

This is the error

This is one that was done directly testing Postman where it worked

[Sandra_Rossi]

I doubt that it's an ABAP problem, it never appends double quotes. The error message is about the method (PATCH, etc.) and the URL, not the double quotes shown in the body (which I think don't exist). I don't know enough Postman, but I recommend asking in a Postman forum.

Note that you may see the exact outbound request in SAP by using the ICF client trace (transaction SICF).

[DarcyMorse]

I am connecting thru an RFC connection and don't have an SICF connection set up.  Does that have to be done?  I didn't see anything in any of the posts I searched.

[Sandra_Rossi]

Transaction code SICF. Search ICF client recording in the forum rather than trace.

e.g. ICF recording - a possibility for analysing - SAP Community

I'll give that a try and update today.  Thanks!
