Android Question API POST question

[h4an]

I have this code to meka an API POST request, see attached file:

Private Sub PostResTasks(Index As Int, ConId As Int)
    Dim job As HttpJob
    Dim Data As String
    Dim Map2 As Map
    Dim jsn As String
    Dim gen As JSONGenerator
    
    job.Initialize("", Me)
    Map2.Initialize
    
    Map2.Put("summary_score_sorting_direction", "asc")
    Map2.Put("name", "Landing")
    Map2.Put("heading", "Landing")
    Map2.Put("index", Index)
    Map2.Put("autosum_scores", True)
    Map2.Put("contest", ConId)
    
    gen.Initialize(Map2)
    jsn = gen.ToString
    Log(jsn)

    job.PostString(Starter.strURL & "contests/" & ConId & "/tasks/", jsn)
    job.GetRequest.SetHeader("Authorization", "Token " & Starter.gToken)
    Wait For (job) JobDone(job As HttpJob)
    If job.Success Then
        Data = job.GetString
        Log(Data)
    Else
        Log("Something wrong")
    End If
        
End Sub

Log(jsn) = {"summary_score_sorting_direction":"asc","name":"Landing","heading":"Landing","index":1,"autosum_scores":true,"contest":695}
I get this respose = ResponseError. Reason: Bad Request, Response: {"name":["This field is required."],"heading":["This field is required."],"contest":["This field is required."]}

Try to add:

job.GetRequest.SetContentType("application/json")

Crazy solution:

 

[MarcoRome]

Some servers explicitly require the Content-Type: application/json header

Post #2 should be selected as the "thread solution".
