I'm writing a plugin (simonw/datasette-insert#2) that implements an API for inserting JSON data. As such, I'd like to POST a JSON blob rather than using key=value form encoded data.

Right now there's a request.post_vars() method but no request.post_body() one:

datasette/datasette/utils/asgi.py

Lines 93 to 103 in c5f06bc

async def post_vars(self):
body = []
body = b""
more_body = True
while more_body:
message = await self.receive()
assert message["type"] == "http.request", message
body += message.get("body", b"")
more_body = message.get("more_body", False)
return dict(parse_qsl(body.decode("utf-8"), keep_blank_values=True))
