Hi @sajeda,

What do you want from the gatling community?

The code feels right.  
The results is correct.  
Your server answer with a `400` but your simulation expects a `201`.

Nothing the gatling community can do for you.  
You’ll have to ensure that your body is expected from your server.

Note: no need to manually add the `content-type` header when you use `asJson`.

Cheers!

400 means “bad Request”, typically meaning your JSON payload is malformed.

```scala
.body(StringBody(
          """" <= 4 doubles quotes here, instead of 3!!!
            |{
            | "name": "morpheus",
            | "job": "leader"
            |}
            |""".stripMargin))

```

You have an extra double quote before your JSON object!
