For a String parameter and JSON data, if you can change the JSON data
format, i would suggest to include the String value into the JSON data
(st. like: { "origString":"the string val","origJson":{...}})
and send just that. If you still need to send both separately,
then as the HTTP request has only one body, you would need to use
either the form data, as you mentioned, or some other way to fit
multilple entities in. Another option would be then the multipart/mixed
approach. Please see [1] for details.
