Adding a contact using REST returns 404 Not Found

[CharlesM612]

This is my first time working with Constant Contact REST.  

I replaced the access token and other account related info in this messages with --------

All I need to be able to do is add a new contact to a list. I'm sending the XML below to:

https://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/-------/contacts/?access_token=------------

        <entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
            <title type="text"> </title>
            <updated>2012-08-15 15:47:39</updated>
            <author></author>
            <id>data:,none</id>
            <summary type="text">Contact</summary>
            <content type="application/vnd.ctct+xml">
                <Contact xmlns="http://ws.constantcontact.com/ns/1.0/">
                    <EmailAddress>----@-----.com</EmailAddress>
                    <FirstName>---</FirstName>
                    <LastName>---</LastName>
                    <OptInSource>ACTION_BY_CONTACT</OptInSource>
                    <ContactLists>
         <ContactList id="http://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/--------/lists/6" />
                    </ContactLists>
                </Contact>
            </content>
        </entry>

And I get this back

Error 404: Not Found

What am I doing wrong? 

Thanks

Hello,

Try removing the last slash in your url before your parameters (e.g., ---/contacts?access_token=-----).

Let us know if that helps.  A 404 error means the request uri is invalid, and the extra slash is the likely culprit, I think.

Thanks!!

That worked.
