As a follow up, this is a sample of text that I was working with (from National
Geographic if you were wondering :-))...
"In Brazil, the events set in motion by logging are almost always more
destructive than the logging itself. Once the trees are extracted and the
loggers have moved on, the roads serve as conduits for an explosive mix of
squatters, speculators, ranchers, farmers, and, invariably, hired gunmen. The
land sharks follow the roads deep into previously impenetrable forest, then
destroy tracts to make it look as if they own them. Land thievery is committed
through corruption, strong-arm tactics, and fraudulent titles and is so
widespread that Brazilians have a name for it: grilagem, from the Portuguese
word grilo, or cricket. Grileiros, the practitioners, have been known to age
phony land titles in a drawer full of hungry crickets. When Brazil's agrarian
reform agency, Instituto Nacional de Colonização e Reforma Agrária, reviewed
Amazonian land ownership records over the past three years, it voided more than
62,000 claims that appeared to be fraudulent."
So my request looked something like:
POST /rest/candidates HTTP/1.1
Host: spotlight.dbpedia.org
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-encoded
Accept: application/json
<...Other HTTP headers...>
