POST request is throwing errors.

[ghost]

Can you please share a sample post request.

Currently, I am using bees attack -n 10 -c 10 -XPOST -u 'http://sample/default.html' -K -P json -p sample.json and it is throwing

@rajesh7221 the beeswithmachineguns code makes a call out to the target URI once per instance that is starting. This backtrace indicates that this call is receiving a 500 error from your server, which is an unhandled exception in the code.

This does not appear to be a BWMG issue, but your server is throwing 500 for some reason (admittedly, the code could handle this a bit more gracefully)

I will see about adding a patch to improve handling of HTTPError on this request, then this issue can be closed
