Error when attempting to revertToCurrentSnapshot

[smm342]

I am attempting to use the "Revert To Current Snapshot" functionality in the REST API and I am failing.

The documentation says that you send a POST request with no body to this URL (replacing the base URL as appropriate):

https://vcloud.example.com/api/vApp/vapp-33/action/revertToCurrentSnapshot

This is what I am getting back.

Status code : 500 Method failed: HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error

response: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I have been setting my content type to blank since there is no body... the documentation says nothing about setting the content type for this call. What am I doing wrong?

This seems to happen with any API call I make that has a POST and no body.

Well apparently you have to specify a body and content type despite it saying you don't. So this works:

content type: application/xml

Body: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Foobar></Foobar>

This is definitely a bug in the API.

You have to have a content type specified that has a slash in it ("application/xml" without quotes works fine). You also have to have a valid XML body.
