If you send a JSON body but your url contains querystring arguments, only JSON content will be returned.

Example:

from flask import Flask
from flask.ext.restful import reqparse, Api, Resource

app = Flask(__name__)
api = Api(app)

class Bar(Resource):
    def post(self):
        parser = reqparse.RequestParser()
        parser.add_argument('foo')  # default argument location is ('json', 'values')
        parser.add_argument('baz')
        args = parser.parse_args()
        return args

api.add_resource(Bar, '/')
app.run()

Result:

$ curl -XPOST "http://127.0.0.1:5000/?foo=1" -d '{"baz":2}' -H "Content-Type: application/json"
{"foo": null, "baz": "2"}

Result with the patch:

$ curl -XPOST "http://127.0.0.1:5000/?foo=1" -d '{"baz":2}' -H "Content-Type: application/json"
{"foo": "1", "baz": "2"}

Is this project abandoned?

@mindflayer thanks for the fix. It looks like there are no tests that check that reqparse can actually pull arguments from two different sources. I tested your solution manually and it seems to be OK, but I'd love it if you could provide a test case that exercises the behavior you described in the above comments.
