I think that's exactly what I was missing. Thanks. Tom

The problem now is that when I retrieve a contact, it doesn't contain the contact lists. Whether I look it up by "contact-id" or by email address, the result is the same. The following user is (according to the Constant Contact GUI) subscribed to our General Newsletter (/list/2). However, this is the XML that I get back: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?><feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
<id>http://api.constantcontact.com:443/ws/customers/westbanklibrary/contacts</id>
<title type="text">Contacts for Customer: westbanklibrary</title>
<link href="contacts"/>
<link href="contacts" rel="self"/>

I'm getting closer. It's now a 400 error (bad request). My post method looks exactly like the PUT method (above). Here's the XML document that I'm POST'ing: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"> <title type="text"> </title> <updated>2011-04-18T10:54:10.404-0500</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>nobody@nowhere.com</EmailAddress> <OptInSource>ACTION_BY_CUSTOMER</OptInSource> <ContactLists> <ContactList id="http://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/westbanklibrary/lists/0"/> </ContactLists> </Contact> </content> </entry>

Because this is a new contact (no contact ID yet), I am PUT'ing it to the contacts collection ".../contacts". This is what I interpreted the API to say. After seeing your message, I reread the "Creating a contact" API documentation and it says that I should be POST'ing (not PUT'ing) to the contacts collection. I'll give that a shot, and any other suggestions are welcome.

I have not resolved this. I double-checked the XML and it is correct. I removed the XML normalization that resulted in the orphan <author/> tag so that I had "<author> <author/>". Unfortunately, I'm still getting the 415 error. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Looking over this post, I see that the XML looks malformed (no <author> tag). I must have accidentally deleted in in the cut/paste/format effort. This XML is created and rendered using DOM, so the starting <author> tag is surely there.

I'm having trouble doing an HttpPut in Java. Getting a "415 Unsupported Media Type" error. Here's my put method: public HttpEntity put(String path, String xml) throws Exception
{
// Use HTTPS
HttpHost targetHost = new HttpHost("api.constantcontact.com", 443, "https");
DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
httpclient.getCredentialsProvider().setCredentials(new AuthScope(targetHost.getHostName(),
targetHost.getPort()), new UsernamePasswordCredentials(apikey+"%"+username, password));
// Use BASIC authentication
AuthCache authCache = new BasicAuthCache();
BasicScheme basicAuth = new BasicScheme();
authCache.put(targetHost, basicAuth);
BasicHttpContext localcontext = new BasicHttpContext();
localcontext.setAttribute(ClientContext.AUTH_CACHE, authCache);
// Put the request
HttpPut httpput = new HttpPut("/ws/customers/"+username+path);
httpput.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/atom+xml");
StringEntity entity = new StringEntity(xml, "UTF-8");
entity.setContentType("application/xml");
httpput.setEntity(entity);
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(targetHost, httpput, localcontext);
StatusLine status = response.getStatusLine();
if (status.getStatusCode() != HttpStatus.SC_OK)
{
throw new Exception(status.getStatusCode()+" "+status.getReasonPhrase());
}
return response.getEntity();
} Here's the XML entity: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
