Update 4 broke my integration library (for POST/PUT) - Node [root] does not exist

[benyoung]

After testing Update 4 with the integration library I built in .NET which uses RestSharp for the http call side of things (but suspect insert library / client X may also behave in a similar way) I have discovered that if a JSON mime type is specified ANYWHERE in the accept header that your calls will yield an http 400 bad request for POST/PUT requests.

If you are getting any Http 400 Bad Requests specifically with the error Node [root] does not exist then it's worth checking to see you are not sending anything other than xml mime types.

Interestingly the update 3 completely ignored this, you can actually specify application/somethingMadeUp and it just returns xml, looks like they are starting to support JSON which is neat at least some initial tests on some of the GET requests returns a JSON version.

If you want to read a more detailed rundown then you can find a writeup here https://benyoung.blog/node-root-does-no ... -update-4/

Hopefully that saves some others a bunch of time!

Correct, starting from Update 4 EM RESTful APIs support both: XML and JSON. Thanks!
