Question

script that changes description of a track. I’m getting 404 error.
Token and url are valid (works from the command line)
sample:

curl -X PUT “https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/45272532.json” -F ‘oauth_token=12345678’ -F ‘track[description]=This track was recorded in Berlin.’

script:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use WWW::Curl::Easy;
use WWW::Curl::Form;

my $curl = new WWW::Curl::Easy();
$curl->setopt( CURLOPT_VERBOSE,  1 );
$curl->setopt( CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL, 1 );
$curl->setopt( CURLOPT_HEADER,   1 );
$curl->setopt( CURLOPT_TIMEOUT,  10 );
$curl->setopt( CURLOPT_URL,      'https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/45272532.json' );

my $curlf = new WWW::Curl::Form();
$curlf->formadd( 'oauth_token', 12345678' );
$curlf->formadd( 'track[description]', 'This track was recorded in Berlin.' );
$curl->setopt( CURLOPT_HTTPPOST, $curlf );

my $resp = '';
open( my $resp_fh, ">", \$resp );
$curl->setopt( CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, $resp_fh );

my $retcode = $curl->perform();
die($retcode) if ( $retcode != 0 );

print $resp;
