Russell,

I suspect the problem is that you aren't setting your mime type in the header to "application/json". Alfresco handles JSON posts in a special way so if the incoming request isn't identified as JSON, the web script probably isn't snagging your data at all.

I used curl to post your json without the mime type set and got your error. Once I set the mime type it posted successfully.

curl -v -X POST "http://localhost:8080/alfreso/service/api/forum/node/workspace/SpacesStore/fbd4e50e-04e7-4e52-8280-928eba9e6c36/posts?alf_ticket=TICKET_1c1566368bc82e7936b41d0962ec370d1ba32547" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @/Users/jpotts/tmp.json‍

Can you try again but this time, include the following line just before your post:

YAHOO.util.Connect.initHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");‍

Hope that helps,

Jeff
