Question

I’m building a RESTful app on Django and Tasty Pie. I have a problem with PUT and POST methods. When I do a request via Curl I have an error.

Curl requests:

curl -i -H "Content-Type :application/json" -X POST -d '{"site_id":2,"post":2}' --user log:pass http://domain.com/core/api/v1/bookmarklet_post/

curl -i -H "Content-Type :application/json" -X PUT -d '{"site_id":2,"post":2}' --user log:pass http://domain.com/core/api/v1/bookmarklet_post/

The error:

{"error_message": "The format indicated 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' had no
available deserialization method. Please check your ``formats`` and ``content_types`` on   
your Serializer.", "traceback": "Traceback (most recent call last):\n\n  File

Serializer are implemented in my resource class:

class BookmarkletPostResource(Resource):
    site_id = fields.CharField(attribute='site_id')
    post = fields.CharField(attribute='post')    

    class Meta:
        resource_name = 'bookmarklet_post'
        include_resource_uri = False
        limit = 10
        default_format = "application/json"
        object_class = ProxyStore
        authorization = Authorization()
        serializer = Serializer()

Answer 1

The content type header colons are misplaced.

It should look like this instead : -H "Content-Type: application/json"
