Successfully installed influxdb on windows and everything is working as expected locally. But having trouble posting data from outside using http api.

I am able to connect to admin panel locally through 

http://localhost:8083/

I am using below command for posting data from a remote server:

curl -i -XPOST 'http://172.29.6.195:8086/write?db=telegraf' --data-binary 'test_load,host=njxap1dbadm01 value=13.64'

I am getting below success message:

HTTP/1.1 204 No Content
Request-Id: d3b58c0c-f620-11e5-80a1-000000000000
X-Influxdb-Version: unknown
Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2016 02:40:55 GMT

log on server side:

[http] 2016/03/29 22:40:55 172.29.18.10 - - [29/Mar/2016:22:40:55 -0400] POST /write?db=telegraf HTTP/1.1 204 0 - curl/7.19.7 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.19.7 NSS/3.16.2.3 Basic ECC zlib/1.2.3 libidn/1.18 libssh2/1.4.2 d3b58c0c-f620-11e5-80a1-000000000000 0

Even though I got the sucess message on client side some how the data is not getting saved on the database.

I checked for the data from admin panel and returning no data.Checked with curl get also no results.

I have retention policy of 1day for my database. Please help me resolve with the issue of why the data is not getting saved to database.

I'm trying to reproduce this, but I'm not able to with the latest version on InfluxDB.

~$ curl -i -XPOST 'http://localhost:8086/write?db=telegraf' --data-binary 'test_load,host=njxap1dbadm01 value=13.64'

Do you know what version of InfluxDB you are using?
