Send post request in aqueduct dart - dart

Question

I have created a post request in aqueduct dart and it takes json as body parameter, and I need to send that request body to thirdparty api , upon getting response from third party api I need to return that response to user. I have updated the code and printed the response header and it says http 400 (bad request)
here is the code :
#override
Controller get entryPoint {
String dataRecieved;
var completer = new Completer();
var contents = new StringBuffer();
final router = Router();
// Prefer to use `link` instead of `linkFunction`.
// See: https://aqueduct.io/docs/http/request_controller/
router.route("/uploadurl").linkFunction((request) async {
final req = await request.body.decode();
// print( await request.body.decode());
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
client.badCertificateCallback =
((X509Certificate cert, String host, int port) => true);
var auth = 'Bearer ' +
'eyJ...';
await client
.postUrl(Uri.parse(
'https://<removed>/api/datalake/v3/generateDownloadObjectUrls'))
.then((HttpClientRequest requestSend) {
requestSend.headers
.add("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=UTF-8");
requestSend.headers.add("Authorization", auth);
// requestSend.headers.contentLength = request.body.length;
print(req);
requestSend.write(req);
return requestSend.close();
}).then((HttpClientResponse response) async {
print(await response.contentLength);
var resStream = response.transform(Utf8Decoder());
await for (var data in resStream) {
print('Received data: $data');
}
print(await response.statusCode);
}).catchError((e) {
print("Request error: $e"); // The only case
});
print(contents);
return Response.ok({"key": dataRecieved});
});
return router;
}
when I make a request from the postman , I get
{
"key": null
}
I think I am not able to send the correct request to third party API , because when I tested third party API from the postman, it was sending correct response
My pubspec.yaml file is :
name: proxydl
description: An empty Aqueduct application.
version: 0.0.1
author: stable|kernel <jobs#stablekernel.com>
environment:
sdk: ">=2.0.0 <3.0.0"
dependencies:
aqueduct: ^3.0.0
http: ^0.12.0+2
dev_dependencies:
test: ^1.0.0
aqueduct_test: ^1.0.0
This is what I am sending from postman as post request:
{
"paths": [
{
"path": "/f1/f2.log"
}
]
}
This is my first POC with Dart on the server side.

Upon further investigation I found the answer:
final req = await request.body.decode();
var envalue = json.encode(req);
For now, this worked, but I feel there might be a better answer for this
