Nancy (C#): How do I get my post data?

Question

I\'m using Corona SDK to post data to my C# server:

headers[\"Content-Type\"] = \"application/x-www-form-urlencoded\"
headers[\"Accept-Language\"] = \"en-US\"

Ideally getting your post data could be accomplished with a simple Bind() call. However, I've seen inconsistent results when using a Bind in a post call such that I've resorted to using the scheme outlined above.

I've seen various discussions about Nancy Bind() working and not working... I've seen both with Post but cannot explain the inconsistency. Where I saw it function properly was where I could guarantee the body of the request was managed as follows:

        var data = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes (postData);

        request.Method = "POST";
        request.ContentType = "application/json";
        request.ContentLength = data.Length;

        using (var stream = request.GetRequestStream ()) {
            stream.Write (data, 0, data.Length);
        }

However, when sending data that should have been similarly handled (though I couldn't confirm) through WSO2 infrastructure (data serialized as a JSON event dictionary sent to a service proxy), Bind failed while the method above succeeded.
