Created by: Andy Melick on 09-11-2011 09:03:48 AM I am new to REST and I am running into a problem when trying to PUT a request for a pin reset. If I use the same code I have developed with a GET the XML is returned. It seems that I am missing something with the formatting of my PUT request. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. <% dim XmlHttp dim PostURL dim ResponseXml dim sXML sXml="<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-8"" standalone=""yes""?>" sXml=sXml & "<Credential>" sXml=sXml & " <EncryptionType>5</EncryptionType><Credentials>44444</Credentials>" sXml=sXml & "</Credential>" PostURL="http://xx.xxx.xx.xx/vmrest/users/edb8da2b-74b4-43d4-9380-ef208f950dbd/credential/pin" Set XmlHttp = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP") XmlHttp.Open "PUT", PostUrl, false, "cupiuser", "*******" XmlHttp.SetRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/xml" XmlHttp.SetRequestHeader "Accept", "application/xml" XmlHttp.setOption(2) = 13056 XmlHttp.send sXML ResponseXml = XmlHttp.ResponseText Response.ContentType = "application/xml" response.write responseXML %>

You also need to wrap the request in a "credential" tag.
I just issued a PIN reset to the same URI construction using this as the XML payload:
