Sounds good! Thanks Adam. I thought I was missing something because the opensocial-php-client sets the form body as json content _and_ the content type as application/x-www-form-urlencoded when updating app data.
I've patched the opensocial-php-client locally to send the correct content type header and everything works perfectly. (I've been testing my container's opensocial REST functionality with all the opensocial client pacakges this weekend.) Thanks!
