Shopify Batch API Redirects

Question

Using POST via an HTTP Client we are having a little trouble adding some redirects to our store via the Shopify API using a Private App we created.

https://apikey:password@hostname/admin/redirects.xml

We are getting an HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request with the following error:

<error>Extra content at the end of the document</error>

Have tried entering the sample code from Shopify API: http://api.shopify.com/redirect.xml.html#create

POST /admin/redirects.xml HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<redirect>
  <path>/ipod</path>
  <target>/pages/itunes</target>
</redirect>

If we do one redirect at a time it is fine if we have more than one then it fails, how do you batch redirects?

Are there any error returned? Did you set the content type to XML? — John Duff
Missed the Content-Type It is now working for Single Instances.... If I try to add more than 1 redirect I get a Bad Request Error <error>Extra content at the end of the document</error> — user1643897

You can only creat one at a time, you will need to loop over and send a request for each.
