Hi Daniel,

I have studied the `HTTP.jl` library extensively.  
You would need to do:

```julia
HTTP.Handlers.serve(server_host, server_port) do request::HTTP.Request
  request_payload=String(take!(IOBuffer(request.body))))
end

```

`request_payload` is JSON string format

As side note I recently created a lighter Julia web library (only renders JSON API and HTTP Get) doing all this for you. Might want to check [Dance.jl](https://github.com/DanceJL/Dance.jl)

Cheers
