Zinc: Posting aString

In the Jenkins REST API, you create a new job by posting a config.xml to http://server_url/createItem?name=NewJobName

Using an existing template file was easy enough:
ZnClient new
        url: restUrl;
        queryAt: 'name' put: aString;
        uploadEntityFrom: '/path/to/config.xml';
        contentType: ZnMimeType applicationXml.
client post.

But what's the equivalent for using a string representing the file contents? I tried:
contents: JenkinsConfigFile new contents;
and
entity: (ZnEntity text: JenkinsConfigFile new contents);
but neither seemed to work... (500 error on the server)

Ha, my favourite User(™),

Did you pass the right content type ?

I would do either:

        client
                entity: (ZnEntity with: '<xml> .. </xml>' type: ZnMimeType applicationXml);

or

        client
                contents:  '<xml> .. </xml>';
                contentType: ZnMimeType applicationXml;

but I can't try it from here of course.

You can always add a #logToTranscript to get some more insight into what goes over the wire.

HTH,

Thanks! That did the trick :)
