smart-contract-verifier microservice not support Verify & publish contract by standard json input mode

[maxufeng]

The smart-contract-verifier service currently finds that it does not support standard json input mode to verify contracts and reports illegal json data. Through https://eth-bytecode-db.services.blockscout.com/ this service is to support the standard json input model validation of the contract. Is this a bug? Can we solve this problem later?

Could you provide some more details of the issue? An error message and any other information would help us to better understand the problem.

Looking forward to your reply

Please try this file standard_input.json

[maxufeng]

The json file can be verified correctly. Just to see what standard Json input means, thank you

[maxufeng]

Developers can be compared with the problems 170781 df9fb5f71f052a622634264fd7. Json and standard_input json the difference between two files.
