I doubt you'll be able to use an HTML form for this, as the POSTed content-type needs to be set to "application/json". You'll need to use the XHR object directly, or a JavaScript library that wraps it (like YUI, jQuery, et al)

The body should look like:

{"person":{"userName":"first.last"},"role":"SiteContributor"}‍

Mike,

As always YOU ROCK!!!

That did the trick!!!

for future reference of the JS lame here is the code that worked

var url = "/alfresco/service/api/sites/test/memberships";
var params = '{"person":{"userName":"someValidUserName"},"role":"SiteContributor"}';

var http = new XMLHttpRequest();
http.open("POST", url, true);

//Send the proper header information along with the request
http.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/json");
http.setRequestHeader("Content-length", params.length);
http.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");

http.onreadystatechange = function() {//Call a function when the state changes.
   if(http.readyState == 4 && http.status == 200) {
      alert(http.responseText);
   }
}
http.send(params);‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks,

Adam
