/task/create Rest API method doesn't work

[mas1...@gmail.com]

Hello,

I'm trying to execute `POST /task/create` Rest API method (https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.3/api-references/rest/#task-create-task), but it doesn't work.
The error message is "HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed" and it seems like that POST method isn't allowed.
Could you please tell me how to avoid this problem?

My environment is as bellow:
- camunda BPM platform version: 7.3.0
- Apache Tomcat Server version: 7.0.62

The command and response I'm trying is as bellow:

$ curl 'http://localhost:8080/engine-rest/task/create' \
> --request POST \
> --data 'name=MyTask' \
> --data 'description=Thishavetobedoneveryurgent' \
> --data 'assignee=demo' \
> --data 'owner=demo' \
> --verbose

(For environmental issue check,) the following works:

$ curl 'http://localhost:8080/engine-rest/task/count' \
> --verbose

Hi,

Make sure to your request's Content-Type header to application/json and to provide a JSON object that follows the request specification in the docs in the request's body.

Cheerrs,

Hi,

the problem is that you are sending a form POST but the endpoint requires a JSON request object. Try this:

$ curl http://localhost:8080/engine-rest/task/create -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"name": "MyTask", "description": "Thishavetobedoneveryurgent", "assignee": "demo"}' -v

*   Trying ::1...

> Host: localhost:8080

> User-Agent: curl/7.47.0

> Accept: */*

> Content-Type: application/json

> Content-Length: 83

> 

* upload completely sent off: 83 out of 83 bytes

< HTTP/1.1 204 No Content

< Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
