Google Latitude JSON issue

[nosaj66au]

Hi All hope someone can help. I have used the GmailContacts example as a base the modifiy the link loaction and scope to address Google Latitude. It works well Oauth good and the resopnse is as documented by google and I get my last location back. simple!!! However I should be able to return the responce data/format to update my location. however i get


{"error":{"errors":[{"domain":"global","reason":"parseError","message":"This API does not support parsing form-encoded input."}],"code":400,"message":"This API does not support parsing form-encoded input."}}

Here's the hacked code.
"m" contains the data from the first request and is "global scope".
Changed the Job done sub

If HttpUtils.IsSuccess(url) Then
   Dim Parser As JSONParser
   Parser.Initialize(HttpUtils.GetString(url))
   Dim m , n As Map
   m = Parser.NextObject

The fist time a call the Lattitude I don't past any data this populates "m" it also sets "FirstTimeComplete" from then on I'm passing the data back....

Sub RequestContactsList
   ProgressDialogShow("Sending contacts list request...")
   Dim strTemp , tempst As String
   
   If FirstTimeComplete Then
      Dim JSONGenerator As JSONGenerator
      JSONGenerator.Initialize(m)
      strTemp = JSONGenerator.ToPrettyString(2) 
      
      HttpUtils.PostString("ContactList", LocationLink & "?access_token=" & AccessToken, strTemp) 
   Else
      HttpUtils.Download("ContactList", LocationLink & "?access_token=" & AccessToken)
      FirstTimeComplete = True
   End If
End Sub

Can anyone help

Where is the description of the api that you are calling?

Hi Erel,

The API Description is here

Developer's Guide (v1): Using REST - Google Latitude API - Google Code

Scope = "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/latitude.current.best"

This works to retrieve data
https://www.googleapis.com/latitude/v1/currentLocation?key=INSERT-YOUR-
________________________________________________________________-

Thanks for the fast reply

Hi Again,
Looking at the API definition it must be something to do with "Content-Type: application/json" but it was my understanding JSON was default.

Here is the Def
_______________________________________________________________-
POST https://www.googleapis.com/latitude/v1/currentLocation?key=INSERT-YOUR-KEY
/* Authorization header here */
Content-Type: application/json

{
"data": {
"kind":"latitude#location",
"latitude":37.420352,
"longitude":-122.083389,
"accuracy":130,
"altitude":35
}
}

___________________________________________________-

They way it reads the /* Authorization header here */ is taken care of by using Oauth2.0

Any ideas

Thanks
Jason

I've tried to apply it in several method but is doesn't seem to fix the issue.

You can set the content type in HttpUtilsService.ProcessNextTask:

If Post Then
   If PostInputStream.IsInitialized Then
      req.InitializePost(link, PostInputStream, PostLength)
   Else
      req.InitializePost2(link, PostBytes)
   End If
Else
   req.InitializeGet(link)
End If
req.SetContentType("application/json") '<---
