I am unable to POST with json to the REST api. Every attempt is returned with:

From what I can see the syntax should be ok however I am unable to
locate any json examples for the ovirt REST api on github, or in any
ovirt docs.
Can you help me?
Should be something like this (using curl):
---8---
#!/bin/sh -ex
url=https://engine.example.com/ovirt-engine/api;
user=admin@internal
password=...
curl \
--insecure \
--user ${user}:${password} \
--request POST \
--header Content-Type: application/json \
--header Accept: application/json \
--data '
{
name: scott_test,
cluster: {
name: LabRDU
},
template: {
name: CentOS-6.6-RDU
}
}
' \
${url}/vms

Note that in the JSON document you don't need a wrapping vm element,
and that the names of the cluster and the template are inner elements.
When in doubt you can obtain examples from the RESTAPI itself. For
example, if you want to see how a VM is represented using JSON go to a
URL like this in your browser:
https://.../ovirt-engine/api/vms/the-id-of-the-vm?accept=application/json
Details:
RHEVM 3.5.3.1-1.4.el6ev
Testing app:
Postman
Example requests with only basic needed items to create a VM, both
fail with above syntax error:

Authorization: Basic xxx
