      HTTP agent item pointing at Zabbix API.
      Request type: POST
      Request body type: JSON data
      Request body:

      {"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"user.login","params":{"user":"Admin","password":"zabbix"},"id":1,"auth":null}
      

      This works as expected. From debug log:

      {"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"user.login","params":{"user":"Admin","password":"zabbix"},"id":1,"auth":null}
      

      But if the request body is replaced with user macro {$MACRO} with the exact same contents, TEST from the frontend works, but when done by Zabbix itself it does not:

      15927:20210313:174104.187 In get_value_http() request method 'POST' URL 'http://localhost/zabbix/api_jsonrpc.php' headers '' message body '{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"method\":\"user.login\",\"params\":{\"user\":\"Admi
      n\",\"password\":\"zabbix\"},\"id\":1,\"auth\":null}'
      

      Zabbix has added "\" symbols in front of each double quote, trying to escape those.
      And the result is no longer successful login, but failure:

      {"jsonrpc":"2.0","error":{"code":-32700,"message":"Parse error","data":"Invalid JSON. An error occurred on the server while parsing the JSON text."},"id":null}
      

      Why is Zabbix escaping double quotes only if expanding from macro?
      If this is how it's supposed to work, the test option should work the same way.
