Hello,

 

Please refer following link for code snippets:

I have already tried with same. But no luck.

 

How we can test 'post body' by some http client tool. So that i can get post body string from SFDC and try to debug by http client tool. Postman - REST Client doesn’t have option to post the body of the request. 

 

Any suggest how to debug this and fix .

Post body string
