Create person api not working

Hi,Please help find out why the following not working. I tried to create a person and sure the auth is correct. The returned json is my own info, not the "test1" user I need to create.curl –data "userName=test1&firstName=Test&lastName=One&email=test1@yahoo.com" http://server006/alfresco/

You are calling the get person webscript.

To update or create objects you need to be using PUT or POST. Alfresco APIs tend to work with JSON bodies.

Look at
POST /alfresco/service/api/people

Thanks for your reply!

But if you look at my api calling script, I already use the POST method. Again, the script is (one line):

curl –data "userName=test1&firstName=Test&lastName=One&email=test1@yahoo.com" http://server006/alfresco/service/api/people?alf_ticket=TICKET_baa8c13f1787fcd2f981137b7e9d4a2bbee1825b
