Try to submit it just either as object or list of objects (not
including the outer <span style="font-family:"Courier
New"">"probes":).</span> Like:<br>
<br>
{"action":"add","requested":1,"type":"probes","value":"<p>"}<br>
<br>
or<br>
<br>
[{"action":"add","requested":1,"type":"probes","value":"<p>"},
{"action":"add"....} ]<br>
