Getting MediaTypeFormatter error when trying to Query File System

#1

I am sending a POST to this URI:


http://myserver.mycompany.com:8000/API/file/?sessionId=(session guid)


Request body:

{
"queryFileSystemEntriesOptions": {
"entryIds": [ "6F42F069-DCAE-4E1C-9520-1828540791A8" ],
"pageNumber": 1,
"pageSize": 150
},
"queryOptions": "RecursiveQuery",
"filter": [
{
"field": "ObjectType",
"operator": "Equals",
"value": "Dashboard",
"options": "None"
}
]
}

Response:


{
"Message": "An error has occurred.",
"ExceptionMessage": "No MediaTypeFormatter is available to read an object of type 'BatchDeleteOptions' from content with media type 'text/plain'.",

It seems there are two issues here. First, the MIME type is incorrect. The stack trace indicates it's set to text/plain and it needs to be application/json.

Second, if your goal is to query you need to POST to /file/query. A POST to straight /file/ is interpreted as a delete, not a query.

Hope this helps.

Outstanding! I'm out of the ditch and rolling again, thanks.
