The API should really catch this situation. Basically, you are calling a
function that requires an input but you are not providing one. In that
case the API sets the input to "null", and the detailed operation is
called. The detailed operation is not expecting a null input.
This is API piece that is not flagging the error properly:
// Parse the input
Configuration input;
if (protocol.equals("json"))
{
if (argument.length() != 0)
{
input = new Configuration();
input.fromJSON(argument);
}
else
input = null;
}
else
{
response.sendError(response.SC_BAD_REQUEST,"Unknown API protocol:
"+protocol);
return;
}
Since this is POST, it should assume that the input cannot be null, and if
it is, it's a bad request.
