RE: REST API - cannot mark posts as read

All fixed. Thanks, guys. I really appreciate such prompt attention.

I did notice one other quirk, however. The Content-type being returned by your server appears to be "application/application/xml+xml". Shouldn't that be "application/xml"? No ill effects, I should note.

Thanks again.

We found the problem, and it should be fixed now - Can you try again and let us know if you continue to have trouble.

I know the platform team has been working on the Rest API lately and making some changes. I'll get the details and post them here.

REST API - cannot mark posts as read

I have not changed my code, which used to work, but I now cannot update the state of individual posts.

I am calling the following REST endpoint:
[code]http://services.newsgator.com/ngws/svc/PostItem.aspx[/code]

With the postdata in the following format:
[code]loc=Location%20Name&r=postID[/code]

The reponse I get is "AccessForbidden" with HTTP code 403, but I am passing the correct credentials, including my API token.

Bug or API change?
