Zend 2 REST Client Post Method sending header parameters also - php

Question

In the Zend Framework 2, using REST Client using the POST method, the post URL has the query string,
As normal in postman when the request is post, the post content i have set
{"authToken":"11111111111111"} and post, status success.
when i get this value using GET method i have get the response, {"authToken":"11111111111111"}
which is correct.
when i run this through, php zend 2 using below method,
protected function genericSendRequest($url, $rawJsonData = NULL, $param = array()){
$response = '';
if(!empty($param)) {
$url .= '?' . http_build_query($param);
}
$client = $this->getHttpClient();
$client->setUri($url);
$client->setMethod('POST');
if($rawJsonData != null) {
$client->setRawBody(json_encode($rawJsonData));
}
$response = $client->send();
if ($response->isSuccess()) {
return $response->getContent();
}
return NULL;
}
Request Input,
$rawJsonData = array("authToken"=>"11111111111111");
$param = array("id"=>"9e770c9f71b4ef1b4ae85c58b0be4280253f9a2e");
Response i got,
id=9e770c9f71b4ef1b4ae85c58b0be4280253f9a2e&%7B%22authToken%22%3A%2211111111111111%22%7D=
This look like a URL query string,
i need the the response {"authToken":"11111111111111"}
ie. I need to get what i have post but i am getting post + query string,
query string is additionally posting to the request, that so its getting in the response,
how should avoid posting this querying string.
what the change needed in my code.?
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You question isn't very clear, but assuming you want to POST JSON data rather than form encoded data, you want:
if ($rawJsonData != null) {
$client->setRawBody(json_encode($rawJsonData));
}
Also, you could rewrite the query string part of your function to just:
if (!empty($param)) {
$uri .= '?' . http_build_query($param);
}
