Inconsistent Behavior Between fastapi-httpbin and httpbin in Handling urlencode Payload in POST Request about fastapi-httpbin HOT 1 OPEN

Sorry for the delay, I was traveling! Now that I'm back home I was able to dig into this.

The issue is known behavior, but not desired behavior. The issue I ran into is that the original httpbin's /post endpoint just... reads all post data, regardless of variable. FastAPI, however, requires variables to be named in its function definitions, so when I first built this I was out of luck.

Or so I thought. :-)

With the benefit of several months having elapsed, I took another look at this, since it was brought up, and discovered that FastAPI has a request.body() function that behaves similar to request.json(), which I was already using. So I added in some support for that, wrote some tests, and "regular" form submissions should be parseable now. I will deploy shortly, and when https://httpbin.dmuth.org/version reports 0.0.47, you'll be good to try again.

Thanks,
