Server Error when upload a single update via Updates REST API

I got HTTP ERROR 500 when trying to upload a single update via Updates REST API. I was sending the following URL with a XML pay load. The same OAuth routine works fine for HTTP GET. Do I need to do something special for HTTP PUT?

URL
http://social.yahooapis.com/v1/user/JWYNCS...fqTi9enavVsk%3D

Response
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<error xmlns='http://yahooapis.com/v1/base.rng'
xml:lang='en'>
<description>500 Internal Server Error</description>
<detail>basic_string::_S_construct NULL not valid</detail>
</error>

thanks,

  • I moved to use authentication header, now I am getting HTTP Status code 400:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <yahoo:error xmlns:yahoo="http://social.yahooapis.com/v1/base.rng" yahoo:uri="http://social.yahooapis.com/v1/errors/400" xml:lang=en-US> <yahoo:description>Malformed syntax or a Bad query</yahoo:description> <yahoo:detail>Failed while checking query params</yahoo:detail></yahoo:error>, <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <yahoo:error xmlns:yahoo="http://social.yahooapis.com/v1/base.rng" yahoo:uri="http://social.yahooapis.com/v1/errors/400" xml:lang=en-US> <yahoo:description>Malformed syntax or a Bad query</yahoo:description> <yahoo:detail>Failed while checking query params</yahoo:detail></yahoo:error>

  • Has there been any updates to this issue? We are having the same issue with the same error.

    We're using the oauth library from here: http://code.google.com/p/oauth/

    Basically when I try to do a HTTP PUT with this URL

    http://social.yahooapis.com/v1/user/IKAXRI...4M1269016137129

    and these update options:

    {suid=APP.2GKDmR4cIKAXRIC2BXNH36MYMBI6QYQK4M1269016136458,
    type=appActivity,
    title=The Shining,
    class=app,
    description=liked The Shining on GetGlue,
    pubDate=1269016136,
    link=http://dev.getglue.com/movies/shining/stanley_kubrick/?s=y,
    collectionID=IKAXRIC2BXNH36MYMBI6QYQK4M,
    source=APP.2GKDmR4c,
    publishedTime=2010-03-19T16:28:56Z,
    collectionType=guid}

    I get this error:

    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
    <error xmlns='http://yahooapis.com/v1/base.rng'
    xml:lang='en'>
    <description>500 Internal Server Error</description>
    <detail>basic_string::_S_construct NULL not valid</detail>
    </error>
