REST api for changing the state of the workitem doesn't work with RTC 4.0.1

Hi Luis,

I have tried on my local system and I found out the following:
 - with curl I reproduce the error
 - if I use FF poster it works (including the etag parameter)

so it sounds like curl is not preserving the quotes as needed.

Update: I found the mistake in my curl call and posting the corrected version. It's  working for me on my system (v4.0.4). See the escape characters for the ETag value.

curl -k -b $COOKIES --header "Content-Type:application/json" --header "Accept:application/x-oslc-cm-change-request+json" --header "If-Match: \"<ETagValue>\""  -X PUT --data-binary "@<ID>.json" <server>/ccm/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/<ID>?_action=com.ibm.team.workitem.taskWorkflow.action.startWorking"

Anyway, I double-checked with FireFox Poster add-on again, and the ETag value along with the If-Match parameter are working as expected

Regards,

Jorge.

The problem appears to be related to the way you are quoting the If-Match header.  Your command should look like this (notice the single quotes:

curl -s -k -b ~/.jazzcookies -H 'If-Match:"64486.etag"' -H "Content-Type: application/x-oslc-cm-change-request+json" -H "Accept: application/x-oslc-cm-change-request+json" -X PUT --data-binary 64486.updated.json "https://clm-host/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/15954?_action=bugzillaWorkflow.action.a6"

The work around i have is to remove the "If-Match" header. Somehow JTS 4.0.1 server does not process this as it used to with 3.0.1

 I'm facing the same problem but I don't think that removing the header is a workaround. Any news on this? How can the If-Match header be used in version 4?

Hi,

Facing same problem any update?
