Updating "SENT" to existing DRAFT Package

Monday, May 30, 2016 at 08:37am

Hi I'm trying to update the STATUS from "DRAFT" to "SENT" but getting an error. Here is my snippet... Am i missing anything?

            try
            {
                string url = eslBaseURL + NamedConstants.Packages + "/" + documentId;
                var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
                string jsonStr = serializer.Serialize(new { status = "SENT" });


                using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
                {
                    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
                    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic", NamedConstants.ESL_API_KEY);
                    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Accept", "application/json");

                    HttpResponseMessage response = await client.PutAsJsonAsync(new Uri(url), jsonStr);

                    LoggingTools.WriteToLog("PUT " + jsonStr + " to " + url, LoggingCategories.WebServiceTrace);

                    return response;
                }

            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw ex;
            }

This is my REQUEST from log

Hey Cyril, It seems like you're sending an invalid json. This is most likely due to the escape sequences in your json. Here's what your HTTP request should look like:

PUT /api/packages/aKs59kI-wJoKj0VAt9HttSaCChk= HTTP/1.1
Host: sandbox.esignlive.com
Authorization: Basic api_key
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Cache-Control: no-cache

{"status":"SENT"}

And a working sample code:

var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
string jsonString = serializer.Serialize(new { status = "SENT" });
StringContent jsonContent = new StringContent(jsonString, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
   
HttpClient myClient = new HttpClient();
myClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic", apiKey);
myClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Accept", "application/json");

var response = myClient.PutAsync(new Uri(apiUrl + "/packages/aKs59kI-wJoKj0VAt9HttSaCChk="), jsonContent).Result;
Debug.WriteLine(response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result);

Hope this helps :)
