Hi,

I'm able to read and write contacts from the API but I've run into a few issues:

- if I try and create a contact that has a 'jobtitle' element, I always get a 404, regardless of the value
- there is not obvious way to fully update a contact, only doing it field by field or deleteding, recreating
- despite what the documentation says, having a space in a category name is not an issue
- if anyone is having strange errors while trying to post XML, make sure your content type is set to 'application/xml; charset="utf-8"'
- the documentation for the creation of categories is wrong, instead of

<categories>
<name>Yahoo!</name>
</categories>

it has to be

<category>
<name>Yahoo!</name>
</category>

If you have any tips or suggestion regarding the first 2 items, please let me know.

for an easier means of updating contacts, look into the PUT /contacts endpoint
http://developer.yahoo.com/social/rest_api...g.html#sync-put

try jobTitle instead of jobtitle.

I'm now using the Sync API but I'm running into an issue and I can't find the proper documentation.

Can you please tell what's the maximum request size for Sync API PUT?

Depending on how many contacts and how big they are sometimes I can post something like 100 in one requests and sometimes only 30 (might have something to do with the number of categories though) without getting a 413 Entity Too Large response.

Is that limit documented somewhere? I can probably figure out the number of bytes by spamming your API but perhaps I'm doing something wrong as these seem awfully small requests.
