Error using management REST API to create auto scaling

Question

I'm testing the REST API to create an auto scaling rule. However the following error occurs:

HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error. Please retry the request

I'm using SOAPUI tool as REST client.

The request is apparently according https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn510372.aspx

What's wrong?

Where can I find examples of creating Auto Scaling using REST API ?

Below is the HTTP request body in json

Thanks!
