Using Webistrano's REST-API

[Alon Pe'er]

Hi,

I was trying to figure out how to control webistrano 1.5 from command
line (creating/deleting hosts, roles etc.), and I found out that it
implements a REST-API.

I was able to run some GET commands such as:
curl --user admin:admin http://localhost:3300/hosts.xml
curl --user admin:admin http://localhost:3300/projects.xml

But POST command fail. Here's an example:
curl --user admin:admin --request POST --data "host=example.com"
http://localhost:3300/hosts.xml

Errors in log file:

Is this a known issue? Or am I not using it right?
