Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-1567:
-----------------------------------------
The best way to construct an API request for any connection or job is to create
it in the UI and then export it. The documentation is correct but it is hard
to pick through all the details, and the UI is easier. So that is what I would
do if I were trying to verify everything worked.
Unfortunately, because ManifoldCF was forced to remove a JSON jar we depended
on due to a legal ruling by the Board, we had to retrofit a different (and not
as good) JSON jar in place a few years back, and that had all sorts of
downstream effects on the API JSON format. We did not need to change the
specification, but we did need to change how we output certain constructs to
JSON to not use the syntactic sugar we earlier could use. I fixed a bug in
this area in either MCF 2.10 or 2.11, so anything output before that time might
not have reimported faithfully. Hope that helps with the explanation.

> Key: CONNECTORS-1567
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-1567
> Project: ManifoldCF
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Web connector
> Affects Versions: ManifoldCF 2.11, ManifoldCF 2.12
> Reporter: Tim Steenbeke
> Assignee: Karl Wright
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: ManifoldCF 2.13
>
> Attachments: bandwidth.png, bandwidth_test_abc.png
>
>
> When exporting the web connector using the API, it doesn't export the
> bandwidth throttling.
> Than when importing this connector to a clean manifoldcf it creates the
> connector with basic bandwidth.
> When using the connector in a job it works properly.
> The issue here is that the connector isn't created with correct bandwidth
> throttling.
> And the connector gives issues in the UI when trying to view or edit.
