Issues in testing REST API with httpie

Question

I have created an API for CURD operation in Django REST from Rest browsable API I can view/update/delete records . But when I trie dto perform update via httpie it doesn't work.

Url - > http://localhost:8000/api/user/profile/1/

Result from browser->

 { "user": 3, "subject": [ 1, 3, 4 ], "phone": "897897897", "address": "xcgsajgchagclkk" }

httpie reques -> http PUT http://localhost:8000/api/user/profile/1/ user=3 subject=[1,2] phone=333 address=my

Error ->

{ "subject": [ "Expected a list of items but got type \"unicode\"." ] }

As we can see the error is in format of data sent in request but I am sending the list in subject [1,2] . So why its giving the error.

Edit : Header of my request

HTTP/1.0 400 BAD REQUEST Allow: GET, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS Content-Type: application/json Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2015 05:33:58 GMT Server: WSGIServer/0.1 Python/2.7.6 Vary: Accept, Cookie X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN

You must specify that your content is 'application/json' when you send to the server — Bogdan Iulian Bursuc

I've checked httpie and I think in order to pass an array you need to do: subject='[1,2]' put this in quotes. Have try. — Bogdan Iulian Bursuc

@BogdanIulianBursuc yes but not just inside quotes, in my case the rt syntax would be subject:='[1,2]' , colons ':' in front of = — saf

As @BogdanIulianBursuc suggested in his comments Httpie use differnet syntax for submitting lists.

So the right syntax would be subject:='[1,2]'
