Content Server RestAPI

Hi. Trying to update user's Lastname in Content Server.

What I'm doing wrong?

    $.ajax({
  type: "PUT",
  dataType: "json",
  url: BASE_URL+"/members/296018",
  headers: {"OTCSTicket": otcsticket},
  data: {last_name: 'Test'},
  success: function(data){
        console.log(data);
      }
});

If I just try to retrieve user's details that works fine.

all good! managed to get it working

    $.ajax({
  type: "PUT",
  dataType: "json",
      async: false,
  url: BASE_URL+"/api/v1/members/"+idd,
  beforeSend: function( xhr ) {
  // Add the otagtoken header
    xhr.setRequestHeader( "OTCSTicket", otcsticket ),
        xhr.overrideMimeType( "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" )
  },
  data: { privilege_login: "false" },
  success: function(data){
        console.log(idd);
        console.log(data);
      }
});

You were hit by the limitation of the CS REST API implementation. Request bodies (of POST and PUT requests) cannot be of the application/json MIME type, as it is usual when working with other REST APIs. The request bodies need to have either application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data MIME type. There is another post about it.

The easiest solution for your scenario is not forcing the JSON dataType, but letting the $.ajax use the defaults, which means application/x-www-form-urlencoded. If you have jQuery newer than 1.6, you need no beforeSend to set the headers or override the Content-Type header:

$.ajax({
  type: 'PUT',
  url: BASE_URL + '/api/v1/members/' + id,
  headers: {'OTCSTicket': otcsticket},
  data: {
    privilege_login: false,
    last_name: 'Test'
  },
  success: function (data) {
    console.log(id);
    console.log(data);
  }
});
