SAS Web services: creating a REST stored process to accept a string

[RichardP]

Hello, 

Yes this would appear a very simple thing to achieve but I cannot seem to get this working. I want to use the REST api and pass a parameter via the webservice to SAS. The parameter value is stored in a macro variable. I can get this working when specifying the JSON endpoint.

However when I specify the REST endpoint I simply cannot get this to work. An error is returned Unsupported Media Type. I have no idea how to define the stored process, what content-type is the REST point expecting? I can get this working when providing the request using XML but I simply need to pass some parameters in. I need to use REST since I will be streaming output back to the client (with the JSON endpoint datastreams cannot be used as output). 

What am I doing wrong? Any help very much appreciated!

I use the following url  to request xml/rest and json. with appropriate headers

http://hostname:port/SASBIWS/rest/storedProcesses/stored/process/path  
http://hostname:port//SASBIWS/json/storedProcesses/stored/process/path

And it works.
