Hello Bill, I am sorry, I should have told you this earlier: JSON is only supported on read request and is basically Atom+XML masked as JSON. What you can do to debug your application is use OAuth Playground<http://googlecodesamples.com/oauth_playground/>to send raw HTTP requests and see how the API behaves.
