I'm trying to add tags to documents in Alfresco using Alfresco's webscript API.I manage to read the tags from documents using GET but when I try to POST to add a tag I get response code 500 from Alfresco and an error message in the Tomcat log including "…Expression tags is undefined…".I guest there

I think the problem is that you are posting the tags as a query string instead of posting JSON in the body of the request.

Here's how you'd do it in curl:
curl -X POST -uadmin:admin "http://127.0.0.1:8080/alfresco/service/api/node/workspace/SpacesStore/637632bf-b633-472b-8696-a62e740df17c/tags" -H "content-type: application/json" -d @/Users/jpotts/Documents/code/tags.json

And then in tags.json, you'd have:
["tag1","tag2"]

Also note that the content-type in the header needs to be set to application/json.
