[rt-users] Creating ticket through REST API with AJAX

[Brian C. Duggan]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a ticket through the REST interface via an AJAX request. 
Here's my code so far...

    var fields = 'id: ticket/new\n\
    Queue: Texas\n\
    Requestor: reques...@rt.myrtsrv.com\n\
    Subject: Yet another REST ticket\n\
    Cc: \n\
    AdminCc: \n\
    Owner: \n\
    Status: new\n\
    Priority: \n\
    InitialPriority: \n\
    FinalPriority: \n\
    TimeEstimated: \n\
    Starts: 2014-05-28 18:01:53\n\
    Due: 2014-05-28 18:01:53\n\
    Text: Yet another REST ticket';
    
    jQuery(document).ready( function() {
        var formData = new FormData();
        formData.append( 'content', fields );
    
        $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url: 'https://rt.myrtsrv.com/REST/1.0/edit',
        data: formData,
        processData: false,
        contentType: false,
        success:function(data){
            $("#ajax-panel").append("<pre>"+data+"</pre>");
        }
        });
    });

The server returns this respsonse:

    RT/4.2.3 400 Bad Request
    
    # Ticket new
     does not exist.

I've tried the same method with the rt command line tool, and it succeeds.

I can paste in the request headers and POST data this generates if it's not 
obvious what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks,
Brian
