REST interface

Hi all.

I’m trying to write a java interface to RT using the REST API.

All is going swimmingly, except one problem, how can I create a ticket
with multi line “Text” content…

Eg, if I send through this form

Queue: GeneralSubject: Foo

Status: new

Requestor: mwatson@foo.com

Text: This is the ticket content

It works fine. However

If I send

Queue: General

Subject: Foo

Status: new

Requestor: mwatson@foo.com

Text: This is the ticket content

Here is some more content

It of course fails. So, Does anyone know how to do this correctly?

Regards

I think you prepend whitespace for the lines that follow, something like
this:

Text: line1
line2
line3

See RT::Interface::REST, function form_parse().

I’ll be very interested in the results of this, if & when you feel
you have something you could share…

Thanks,

Thanks, that worked a treat.
