I tried to PUT the exact XML above (with an acctual username inserted), but with the UTF-8 encoding parameter, and am still getting a 500. Not sure if this will help, but here is the actual Python code that I'm using: import urllib2 import datetime from xml.dom import minidom password_mgr = urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm() top_level_url = "https://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/{my-username}/" password_mgr.add_password(None, top_level_url, 'USER_NAME_STRING', 'PASSWORD') handler = urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(password_mgr) opener = urllib2.build_opener(handler) request_string = 'https://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/{my-username}/contacts/%s' % constant_contact_id response = self.opener.open(request_string) xml_string = response.read() dom = minidom.parseString(xml_string) dom.getElementsByTagName('CustomField1')[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue = "Some test value" dom.getElementsByTagName('CustomField15')[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue = "Some other test value" update_request = urllib2.Request(request_string, data=dom.toxml(encoding="UTF-8")) update_request.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/atom+xml') update_request.get_method = lambda: 'PUT' print('Putting to: %s' % update_request.get_full_url()) print("Data: %s" % update_request.get_data()) update_response = self.opener.open(update_request)

I'm having an issue updating contact information via the API. Essentially, I'm using a GET request to retrieve the contact XML, making the necessary updates, and the PUT'ing it back, but am getting a 500 on the PUT request. I've checked the XML, and everything looks fine to me, but there still may be some error there. I've tested the PUT in my code, and also using the "Poster" Firefox extension. I'm posting to the URL: https://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/{my-username}/contacts/3372 This is the XMl data: <?xml version="1.0" ?> <entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"> <link href="/ws/customers/{my-username}/contacts/3372" rel="edit"/> <id>http://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/{my-username}/contacts/3372</id> <title type="text">Contact: chris@sinchok.com</title> <updated>2011-07-05T01:56:38.738Z</updated> <author> <name>Constant Contact</name> </author> <content type="application/vnd.ctct+xml"> <Contact id="http://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/{my-username}/contacts/3372" xmlns="http://ws.constantcontact.com/ns/1.0/"> <Status>Active</Status> <EmailAddress>chris@sinchok.com</EmailAddress> <EmailType>HTML</EmailType> <Name>Chris Sinchok</Name> <FirstName>Chris</FirstName> <MiddleName/> <LastName>Sinchok</LastName> <JobTitle/> <CompanyName/> <HomePhone/> <WorkPhone/> <Addr1/> <Addr2/> <Addr3/> <City/> <StateCode/> <StateName/> <CountryCode/> <CountryName/> <PostalCode/> <SubPostalCode/> <Note/> <CustomField1>7e2b8117ba8c33c7a117365fe2a1020047a22a749492f080742c1c2c</CustomField1> <CustomField2/> <CustomField3/> <CustomField4/> <CustomField5/> <CustomField6/> <CustomField7/> <CustomField8>575.0</CustomField8> <CustomField9>2011 SMALL CSA spot holder</CustomField9> <CustomField10>2011 SMALL CSA spot holder</CustomField10> <CustomField11>Full Upfront</CustomField11> <CustomField12>Beachwood</CustomField12> <CustomField13>575.0</CustomField13> <CustomField14>195.0</CustomField14> <CustomField15>380.0</CustomField15> <ContactLists> ...{lists trimmed for brevity}... </ContactLists> <Confirmed>true</Confirmed> <InsertTime>2011-05-04T13:04:10.551Z</InsertTime> <LastUpdateTime>2011-07-05T01:56:38.738Z</LastUpdateTime> </Contact> </content> <source> <id>http://api.constantcontact.com/ws/customers/{my-username}/contacts</id> <title type="text">Contacts for Customer: {my-username}</title> <link href="contacts"/> <link href="contacts" rel="self"/> <author> <name>{my-username}</name> </author> <updated>2011-07-05T01:56:38.738Z</updated> </source> </entry> I'd appriciate any ideas on how to resolve this issue.
