Hi,I'm trying to update bugs in Launchpad using the API, but every time I issue a PATCH call on api.staging.launchpad.net, it returns either a "400 Bad Request", or a "401 Bad Request".
I'm not using the Python library, but rather direct HTTP calls. Here's an example:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
$ openssl s_client -connect api.staging.launchpad.net:443
CONNECTED(00000003)
[openssl stuff snipped]
PATCH /1.0/entomologist2/+bug/733006 HTTP/1.0
Host: api.staging.launchpad.net
Authentication: OAuth [oauth snipped but the tokens are valid]
Content-Type: application/json
Accept-Language: en-US,*
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0
Content-Length: 27
{ "status" : "Incomplete" }
-----------------------------------------------------------------
And it returns with:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------This happens if I use openssl to connect to the server directly, or if I use QNetworkAccessManager to issue a PATCH call directly. What am I doing wrong here? A GET call returns the information as the documentation says it should.
