Is this what you are looking for?  The variables form a complete https URL to the endpoint.  Screenshot 1.  Then, we're posting some JSON data to the endpoint.  Screenshot 2.

 

Then it should return JSON data.  By the look of the Expression.Error, it appears to be data I'm POST'ing that it's trying to first convert to binary.  I'm wondering if the "Content=Text.FromBinary" is the culpret.  I dont believe there is a "Text.FromJSON" equivalent.

no, I am looking for a sample response text with the \u000a  etc.

    I think the problem is not with the response.  The \u000a seems to be coming from the data section which is formatted JSON we are trying to POST to the REST API.  The API should return something totally different.
