[Lib/InnerBrowser] Send raw content in post body #61

Description

@krukru

What are you trying to achieve?

I am trying to call sendAjaxPostRequest and I would like to pass raw, unformatted parameters to the server.
For example

$I->sendAjaxPostRequest('/some-endpoint', '{"foo": "bar"}');
// or even
$I->sendAjaxPostRequest('/some-endpoint', 'hello, how do you do?')

What do you get instead?

I get an error saying that the second parameter of sendAjaxPostRequest must be of type array. This array then gets converted using http_build_query and there is no way to pass raw data. See https://github.com/Codeception/Codeception/blob/3.1/src/Codeception/Lib/InnerBrowser.php#L189

When passing an array, the array always gets converted to http query params format of foo=bar&example=codeception

I think an alternative approach could be to use REST Module, which I think can accept raw content (or at least properly json_encode body).

Is there something I am missing? How would you suggest to test this endpoint?
