400 Bad Request

[Rod Alfaro]

Hello,

Im trying to generate the post request to create a new shared contact.

this is my code 

      Mdata = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" ?><atom:entry xmlns:atom='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom'"

      Mdata += "xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005'>"

      Mdata += "<atom:category scheme='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#kind'"

      Mdata += "term='http://schemas.google.com/contact/2008#contact' />"

      Mdata += "<gd:name>"

      Mdata += "<gd:givenName>Elizabeth</gd:givenName>"

      Mdata += "<gd:familyName>Bennet</gd:familyName>"

      Mdata += "<gd:fullName>Elizabeth Bennet</gd:fullName>"

      Mdata += "</gd:name>"

      Mdata += "<atom:content type='text'>Notes</atom:content>"

      Mdata += "<gd:email rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#work'"

      Mdata += "primary='true'"

      Mdata += "address='l...@gmail.com' displayName='E. Bennet' />"

      Mdata += "<gd:email rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#home'"

      Mdata += "address='l...@example.org' />"

      Mdata += "<gd:phoneNumber rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#work'"

      Mdata += "primary='true'>"

      Mdata += "(206)555-1212"

      Mdata += "</gd:phoneNumber>"

      Mdata += "<gd:phoneNumber rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#home'>"

      Mdata += "(206)555-1213"

      Mdata += "</gd:phoneNumber>"

      Mdata += "<gd:im address='l...@gmail.com'"

      Mdata += "protocol='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#GOOGLE_TALK'"

      Mdata += "primary='true'"

      Mdata += "rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#home' />"

      Mdata += "<gd:structuredPostalAddress"

      Mdata += "rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#work'"

      Mdata += "primary='true'>"

      Mdata += "<gd:city>Mountain View</gd:city>"

      Mdata += "<gd:street>1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy</gd:street>"

      Mdata += "<gd:region>CA</gd:region>"

      Mdata += "<gd:postcode>94043</gd:postcode>"

      Mdata += "<gd:country>United States</gd:country>"

      Mdata += "<gd:formattedAddress>"

      Mdata += "1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy Mountain View"

      Mdata += "</gd:formattedAddress>"

      Mdata += "</gd:structuredPostalAddress>"

      Mdata += "</atom:entry>"

      

      lMdata = (Mdata)

      request = urllib2.Request('https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/' + self.domain + '/full', data=lMdata)      

      request.add_header('GData-Version', '3.0')

      request.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/atom+xml')

      request.add_header('Authorization', 'GoogleLogin auth=' + self.login_token)

      opener = urllib2.build_opener()      

      result = opener.open(request).read()

im sending the same sample data given in the api documentation. i make the request after a successfull login and providing the token in the header.

I get 

  File "C:\Python27\lib\urllib2.py", line 400, in open
    response = meth(req, response)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\urllib2.py", line 513, in http_response
    'http', request, response, code, msg, hdrs)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\urllib2.py", line 438, in error
    return self._call_chain(*args)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\urllib2.py", line 372, in _call_chain
    result = func(*args)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\urllib2.py", line 521, in http_error_default
    raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp)
HTTPError: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request

maybe the issue is sending xml data as body in a post request. can anyone there provide me sample of how to post xml to google apps api please.

Thanks for your help
