Robot Framework - automated-tests

Question

I am running Robot Framework 2.8.7 (Python 2.6.6 on win32) on my laptop and VM
Laptop: Windows 7 Enterprise
VM: Windows Embedded Standard
The post command works in Postmon for laptop and VM
however when I run a test case post command from Laptop, the Post works fine.
The VM test case Post command gives a response of 400. The 400 response is a bad request.
Both Laptop and VM have the same environment variable settings, same Post test case files.
This is the Post command:
#
${tmp} Set Variable Basic${SPACE}dmVyaXNlcTpWZVJpU2VRNTc0Lg==
${headers}=
... Create Dictionary Content-Type application/json Authorization ${tmp}
#
# read the raw data
${file_data}= Get Binary File ${jFileName}
Log To Console ${file_data}
Log *Posting Data*: ${file_data}
${result}= Post Request webapiuri / data=${file_data} headers=${headers}
Any idea why the VM robot framework response is a 400 (Bad request)?

Solved the problem by uninstalling a current version of robotframework-requests and installing an older version 0.3.8 robotframework-requests
For some reason, the newer version would change the way the json file was being sent to the Tomcat. Now it works great! :)
pip uninstall robotframework-requests
pip install robotframework-requests-0.3.8.tar.gz
