HTTPCaller POST: error "415"

Hello,

I am trying to POST an XML using the HTTP Caller, but get a 415 error.

I have an API tool for the application that I am trying interact with, and manage to POST the XML with success.

I have seen other posts that suggest it is the header of the XML / Content Type option which is incorrect, but I have tried all the options I can think of.

 

Any help would be appreciated. 

I have pasted the XML I am using below, and attached the test  workbench I'm using. 

Note that I have deleted credentials / sensitive information.

Cheers

You should look into the API docs Mail | Support Central (aconex.com)

Aconex requires you to supply both a Header and a POST payload and setting the Content Type manualy.

Thank you. 

I did not know that it was possible to set the content type manually. For those interested, in the future, below is my HTTP Caller parameters and payload.
