REST Custom BETA Postdata no Content-Type: text/xml possible

Votes:

0

Hi there,

and once again stress with the custom sensor. In the postdata there is no <> allowed?

my postdata will be malformed to {} style. But my endpoint will not accept that because it has to be text/xml.

"Using HTTP POST When sending configurations and commands to the codec, it is important that the HTTP header Content-Type is set to text/xml, i.e. Content-Type: text/xml. The body of the POSTshould contain the XML content."

Custom HTTP Headers = Content-Type: text/xml

Any ideas?

Sebastian

Yeah we don't allow < and >, as it would mess around with our XML configuration, unfortunately. You'd need to use a PowerShell script instead to make these kinds of queries :( But the result evaluation needs to be done within that one as well. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news here.
