I would like to create http message bodies with fields that contain dashes. I haven't been able to find a workaround for Matlab disallowing hyphens (dashes) in the var names.
Here is what I'm trying to do - for illustration - I have an underscore in place of a hyphen the "test_var" (below)
Even after generating the RequestMessage (req1 below), you cannot change "test_var" to "test-var" because the RequestMessage is still storing the request as a struct (not as a string which could be modified).
method = matlab.net.http.RequestMethod.POST;
header = matlab.net.http.HeaderField('Content-Type', 'application/json');
header = addFields(header,'User-Agent', 'my-client/99.9');
header = addFields(header,'Accept', 'application/json');
% Struct approach
struct1 = struct('login', 'me', 'password', 'pw123', 'test_var', true)
body1 = matlab.net.http.MessageBody(struct1)
req1 = matlab.net.http.RequestMessage(method,header,body1)
show(req1)
POST
Content-Type: application/json
User-Agent: my-client/99.9
Accept: application/json
{"login":"me","password":"pw123","test_var":true}
req1.Body.Data
ans =
struct with fields:
login: 'me'
password: 'pw123'
test_var: 1

Will Python support? Maybe there's a way there that could be called from MATLAB. Or, use the .NET stuff directly, maybe? I dunno, I'm just fishing here.
As noted, I'd either send a support request or call directly on this one.

If Content-Type can be "text/plain" (mislabelling the content-type -- not sure if your API accepts that), then you can use string or char array as the message body:
MessageBody('{"login":"me","password":"pw123","test-var":true}');
If Content-Type must be "application/json", then calling RequestMessage.send will use jsonencode on your message body to generate the payload to send. If your message body contains a struct, you get:
'{"login":"me","password":"pw123","test_var":true}'
else if your message body contains a string, you get:
"{\"login\":\"me\",\"password\":\"pw123\",\"test-var\":true}"
Neither result is the JSON with dashed fields you desired.
If you want both Content-Type "application/json" and dashed field, you may look into this:
"To send arbitrary headers and data in a request message, set Completed to true to prevent the send method from modifying the message."
But in that case, it seems you will have to build and validate the request message yourself. (I have not try this before.)
