I am a newbie to REST API's. I need to post to the website, but I get response code as 400 and content-type as text/plain
If I use Advanced REST Client Application of google, I get different results. The response code is 500 and the content-type is text/html.
Am I not ending the post data (query1) correctly? Is this the correct way of doing it? Do I need to use JAX-RS? Can someone please help? Appreciate it.
