jeffdonthemic2 UNSUPPORTED_MEDIA_TYPE with Ruby and REST API using POST
I started out with Quinton's article here and am trying to build out some samples using Rails and the REST API. I can query for and fetch records but am having problems creating new records.
Here's my code:
def self.create()
Accounts.set_headers
options = {
:body => {
:Name => "TestRailsApp"
}
}
response = post(Accounts.root_url+"/sobjects/Account/", options)
puts response.body, response.code, response.message
end
But I am getting the following response back:
opening connection to na5.salesforce.com...
opened
<- "POST /services/data/v21.0/sobjects/Account/ HTTP/1.1\r\nAuthorization: OAuth 00D700000009Bki!ARQAQHsUMNBjZTLupOGjYhGDQ9k8SN0FC9qGnVMhpM5rqgLsOBPVhgtsgwqYzELkcX47FlyqQhGAf83eaXXXXX\r\nConnection: close\r\nHost: na5.salesforce.com\r\nContent-Length: 8\r\nContent-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n\r\n"

Unsupported Media Type
Any ideas? Thanks!

That did the trick Simon!! Thanks for the help. Here' s my solution:
def self.create() Accounts.set_headers headers 'Content-Type' => "application/json" options = { :body => { :Name => "Test1234" }.to_json } response = post(Accounts.root_url+"/sobjects/Account/", options) puts response.body, response.code, response.message endJeff Douglas

You're sending an HTML form as the post payload, it needs to be an xml or json document instead.
