Put your parameters in a hash table and pass them like this:

    $postParams = @{username=&#39;me&#39;;moredata=&#39;qwerty&#39;}
    Invoke-WebRequest -Uri http://example.com/foobar -Method POST -Body $postParams

For some picky web services, the request needs to have the content type set to JSON and the body to be a JSON string. For example:

    Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing http://example.com/service -ContentType &quot;application/json&quot; -Method POST -Body &quot;{ &#39;ItemID&#39;:3661515, &#39;Name&#39;:&#39;test&#39;}&quot;

or the equivalent for XML, etc.

This just works:

    $body = @{
     &quot;UserSessionId&quot;=&quot;12345678&quot;
     &quot;OptionalEmail&quot;=&quot;MyEmail@gmail.com&quot;
    } | ConvertTo-Json
     
    $header = @{
     &quot;Accept&quot;=&quot;application/json&quot;
     &quot;connectapitoken&quot;=&quot;97fe6ab5b1a640909551e36a071ce9ed&quot;
     &quot;Content-Type&quot;=&quot;application/json&quot;
    } 
     
    Invoke-RestMethod -Uri &quot;http://MyServer/WSVistaWebClient/RESTService.svc/member/search&quot; -Method &#39;Post&#39; -Body $body -Headers $header | ConvertTo-HTML



**Single command** without ps variables when using `JSON` as body `{lastName:&quot;doe&quot;}` for POST api call:

    Invoke-WebRequest -Headers @{&quot;Authorization&quot; = &quot;Bearer N-1234ulmMGhsDsCAEAzmo1tChSsq323sIkk4Zq9&quot;} `
                      -Method POST `
                      -Body (@{&quot;lastName&quot;=&quot;doe&quot;;}|ConvertTo-Json) `
                      -Uri https://api.dummy.com/getUsers `
                      -ContentType application/json

I&#39;ve never heard of an event in jQuery called `input` till I saw this [jsfiddle][1].

Do you know why it&#39;s working? Is it an alias for `keyup` or something?

I am trying to create a folder using PowerShell if it does not exists so I did :
   
    $DOCDIR = [Environment]::GetFolderPath(&quot;MyDocuments&quot;)
    $TARGETDIR = &quot;$DOCDIR\MatchedLog&quot;
    if(!(Test-Path -Path MatchedLog )){
       New-Item -ItemType directory -Path $DOCDIR\MatchedLog
    }

This is giving me error that the folder already exists, which it does but It shouldn&#39;t be trying to create it. 

I am not sure what&#39;s wrong here

First, as this leads to my question, I&#39;ll start by noting that I&#39;ve worked with XML a fair bit in PowerShell, and like how I can read data from XML files, quickly, into arrays of custom objects. For example, if I had the following XML file:

&lt;!-- language: lang-xml --&gt;

    &lt;stuff&gt;
     &lt;item name=&quot;Joe&quot; age=&quot;32&quot;&gt;
      &lt;info&gt;something about him&lt;/info&gt;
     &lt;/item&gt;
     &lt;item name=&quot;Sue&quot; age=&quot;29&quot;&gt;
      &lt;info&gt;something about her&lt;/info&gt;
     &lt;/item&gt;
     &lt;item name=&quot;Cat&quot; age=&quot;12&quot;&gt;
      &lt;info&gt;something else&lt;/info&gt;
     &lt;/item&gt;
    &lt;/stuff&gt;

And if I read it in simply, like this:

&lt;!-- language: lang-bash --&gt;

    [xml]$myxml = Get-Content .\my.xml

Then I can get to an array of my items like this:

&lt;!-- language: lang-none --&gt;

    [array]$myitems = $myxml.stuff.Item
    $myitems

    name   age  info
    ----   ---  ----
    Joe    32   something about him
    Sue    29   something about her
    Cat    12   something else

So, now my question:

**How can I create a similar structure of an array of custom objects, and initialize them in my script, *without* reading a file?**

I can do lots of looping and/or lots of creating/initializing individual objects, and then add to an array one at a time...

But it seems there should be a way to perform this creation/initialization in a simpler way.  Note that the key here, is that my custom objects have more than two elements (otherwise, I&#39;d have used a hash).

I&#39;ve even looked at creating a big string of XML, and using Select-XML, but I just couldn&#39;t get the syntax right (if that was even the right road to be heading down).


How to initialize an array of custom objects

Why doesn&#39;t this work?

&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;
$drvrInstFilePath = &quot;$sharePath\$imageName\ISO\`$OEM$\`$1\RPKTools\RPKDriverInst.bat&quot;
echo $drvrInstFilePath
$drvrInstContent = Get-Content -LiteralPath &quot;$sharePath\$imageName\ISO\`$OEM$\`$1\RPKTools\RPKDriverInst.bat&quot;  | Out-String
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/code&gt;

The echo shows the right path, but the Get-Content command expands the $oem and $1 to blank strings, even though they are escaped. Why?

I&#39;ve implemented a REST/CRUD backend by following this article as an example: http://coenraets.org/blog/2012/10/creating-a-rest-api-using-node-js-express-and-mongodb/ . I have MongoDB running locally, I&#39;m not using MongoLabs.

I&#39;ve followed the Google tutorial that uses ngResource and a Factory pattern and I have query (GET all items), get an item (GET), create an item (POST), and delete an item (DELETE) working.  I&#39;m having difficulty implementing PUT the way the backend API wants it -- a PUT to a URL that includes the id (.../foo/&lt;ID&gt;) and also includes the updated data.

I have this bit of code to define my services:

    angular.module(&#39;realmenServices&#39;, [&#39;ngResource&#39;]).
        factory(&#39;RealMen&#39;, function($resource){
        return $resource(&#39;http://localhost\\:3000/realmen/:entryId&#39;, {}, {
          query: {method:&#39;GET&#39;, params:{entryId:&#39;&#39;}, isArray:true},
          post: {method:&#39;POST&#39;},
          update: {method:&#39;PUT&#39;},
          remove: {method:&#39;DELETE&#39;}
        });

I call the method from this controller code:

    $scope.change = function() {
        RealMen.update({entryId: $scope.entryId}, function() {
                $location.path(&#39;/&#39;);
        });
    }

but when I call the update function, the URL does not include the ID value: it&#39;s only &quot;/realmen&quot;, not &quot;/realmen/ID&quot;.

I&#39;ve tried various solutions involving adding a &quot;RealMen.prototype.update&quot;, but still cannot get the entryId to show up on the URL.  (It also looks like I&#39;ll have to build the JSON holding just the DB field values myself -- the POST operation does it for me automatically when creating a new entry, but there doesn&#39;t seem to be a data structure that only contains the field values when I&#39;m viewing/editing a single entry).

Is there an example client app that uses all four verbs in the expected RESTful way?

I&#39;ve also seen references to Restangular and another solution that overrides $save so that it can issue either a POST or PUT (http://kirkbushell.me/angular-js-using-ng-resource-in-a-more-restful-manner/).  This technology seems to be changing so rapidly that there doesn&#39;t seem to be a good reference solution that folks can use as an example.

Can anybody provide me with a code sample to access the rest service URL secured with HTTPS using the Spring Rest template?

I have the certificate, username and password. Basic Authentication is used on the server-side and I want to create a client that can connect to that server using a provided certificate, username and password (if needed).

Access Https Rest Service using Spring RestTemplate

I have a project where I am using Spring MVC + Jackson to build a REST service. Let&#39;s say I have the following java entity

    public class MyEntity {
    	private Integer id;
    	private boolean aBoolean;
    	private String aVeryBigString;
    	//getter &amp; setters
    }

Sometimes, I just want to update the boolean value, and I don&#39;t think that sending the whole object with its big string is a good idea just to update a simple boolean. So, I have considered using the PATCH HTTP method to only send the fields that need to be updated. So, I declare the following method in my controller:

    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.PATCH)
    public void patch(@RequestBody MyVariable myVariable) {
    	//calling a service to update the entity
    }

The problem is: how do I know which fields need to be updated? For instance, if the client just wants to update the boolean, I will get an object with an empty &quot;aVeryBigString&quot;. How am I supposed to know that the user just wants to update the boolean, but does not want to empty the string? 

I have &quot;solved&quot; the problem by building custom URLs. For instance, the following URL: POST /myentities/1/aboolean/true will be mapped to a method that allows to only update the boolean. The problem with this solution is that it is not REST compliant. I don&#39;t want to be 100% REST compliant, but I do not feel comfortable with providing a custom URL to update each field (especially given that it causes problems when I want to update several fields).

Another solution would be to split &quot;MyEntity&quot; into multiple resources and just update these resources, but I feel like it does not make sense: &quot;MyEntity&quot; **is** a plain resource, it is not **composed of** other resources.

So, is there an elegant way of solving this problem?

Spring MVC PATCH method: partial updates

Having the following code:

    @RequestMapping(value = &quot;/greeting&quot;, method = POST, consumes = APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE, produces = APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
    @ResponseBody
    public String greetingJson(@RequestBody String json) {
        System.out.println(&quot;json = &quot; + json); // TODO json is null... how to retrieve plain json body?
        return &quot;Hello World!&quot;;
    }

The String json argument is always null despite json being sent in the body.

**Note** that I don&#39;t want automatic type conversion, I just want the plain json result.

This for example works:

    @RequestMapping(value = &quot;/greeting&quot;, method = POST, consumes = APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE, produces = APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
    @ResponseBody
    public String greetingJson(@RequestBody User user) {
        return String.format(&quot;Hello %s!&quot;, user);
    }


Probably I can use the use the ServletRequest or InputStream as argument to retrieve the actual body, but I wonder if there is an easier way?

How to access plain json body in Spring rest controller?

I have a resources with uri `/api/books/122` , if this resource doesn&#39;t exist at the point where a client sends HTTP Delete for this resource, what is the appropriate response code from this action? Is it 404 Not Found?    
Thanks
