ATOM XML is not accepted by IBM Connections Server

Question

I want to post this XML (generated by C# SyndicationItem ) to an IBM Connections 4.0 OAuth EndPoint:

https:/HOSTNAME/forums/oauth/atom/replies?topicUuid=ee5878b5-65d4-4d44-8192-367e49c30e91

The servers return error 400, bad request. What could be wrong in this XML ?

The Bearer and ContentType headers are set.

<entry xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0"     xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">

I'm just beginning to look at your post, and it occurs to me what method are you using from the endpoint? post, put? — Paul Bastide
post. Since this is the best I can do with C#'s SyndicationItem, I continued an a different path (String with replacements). This works but SyndicationItem seemed the right way go. So I am stil wandering what is wrong with this XML. — mpjjonker

There are two things you want to double check 1) I wonder if you need an id element in the atom entry, in the example of Connections forums API document, no id is provided 2) I notice you use the topic uuid in

ref="urn:lsid:ibm.com:forum:ee5878b5-65d4-4d44-8192-367e49c30e91"

, in fact, you should use the correct forum uuid instead of the topic id.
