laravel guzzlehttp - Server Exception in RequestException.php - laravel-5

Question

I am getting ServerException in RequestException.php line 107 when I make POST request to my API. I get following error -
Server error: POST http://10.10.1.40:3000/auth/register resulted in a 500 Internal Server Error response:
{"statusCode":500,"errorMessage":"[object Object]"}.
I tried sending post request from REST Client and it works.
Following is the trace
in RequestException.php line 107 at RequestException::create(object(Request), object(Response)) in Middleware.php line 65
at Middleware::GuzzleHttp\{closure}(object(Response)) in Promise.php line 199
at Promise::callHandler('1', object(Response), array(object(Promise), object(Closure), null)) in Promise.php line 152
at Promise::GuzzleHttp\Promise\{closure}() in TaskQueue.php line 60
at TaskQueue->run(true) in Promise.php line 240
at Client->request('POST', 'http://10.10.1.40:3000/auth/register', array('body' => '{"firstName":"abc","lastName":"ab"}')) in RegisterController.php line 30
at RegisterController->postRegisterForm(object(Request))
Following is my controller code
class RegisterController extends Controller{
public function postRegisterForm(Request $request){
$jsonData = json_encode($_POST);
$client = new Client();
$res = $client->request('POST','10.10.1.40:3000/auth/register', ['body' => $jsonData]);
echo $res->getStatusCode();
echo $res->getBody();
}
}
Any suggestions?

You are right #ShaunBramley. I missed out sending the content type header in request. Adding following code works -
$headers = ['Content-Type' => 'application/json'];
$res = $client->request('POST', 'http://10.10.1.40:3000/auth/register', ['headers'=>$headers,'body' => $jsonData]);
