I’m trying to create a ticket using the API. Even though a summary and priority are being specified, I’m receiving a 400 Bad Request response stating that priority and summary must be set.

Request:
-——-

POST /api/v1/projects/1/tickets HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Basic XXX
User-Agent: XXX
Host: XXX.unfuddle.com
Accept-Encoding: deflate, gzip

<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“UTF-8”??>Priority can only be one of the following: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1Summary can’t be blank

Any ideas why this error is occurring even though the things it’s complaining about are set in the request’s entity body?

Thanks for providing such a detailed example. It was helpful in determining the source of your error.

You will notice that your request contains a header “Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded”. However, you are attempting to post XML. As such, your Content-Type header should rather be “application/xml”. If you change that you should find that the ticket creation happens without any problems.

Thanks for your assistance, Joshua. I guess I just overlooked the Content-Type header. I’ll give that a shot and post back if I have any problems. Thanks!
