How can I send a REST XML POST request via curl?

Question

Basically, I have a project set up in Restlet which uses JAXRS for mapping resources to paths and uses JAXB for serializing and deserializing XML to/from Java types. I'm currently trying to send a POST request in order to test whether it works, and I'm running into a bit of trouble. Here's my resource:

@Path("stream")
public class StreamResource {

    @POST
    @Consumes("text/xml")
    @Produces("text/xml")
    public Stream save(Stream value) {
        logger.debug("saving new stream...");
        return (Stream)this.streamPersistence.save(value);
    }
}

Here's my Stream class:

@XmlRootElement(name="stream")
@XmlType(propOrder={"id", "streamName", "title", "description", fileSystemPath"})
public class Stream {

    private Long id;

    private String streamName;

    private String fileSystemPath;

    private String title;

    private String description;

    // getters/setters omitted for brevity
}

And here's how I'm invoking curl:

curl -X POST -d '<stream><streamName>helloWorld.flv</streamName><title>Amazing Stuff, Dude!</title><description>This stream is awesome-cool.</description><fileSystemPath>/home/rfkrocktk/Desktop/helloWorld.flv</fileSystemPath></stream>' --header 'Content-Type:"text/xml"' http://localhost:8888/stream

Here's the error I'm getting from curl:

The given resource variant is not supported.

...and here's the error in Restlet:

What am I doing wrong here? This seems pretty straightforward, right?

Solution

Remove the quotes around text/xml.

In other words you want

curl -X POST -d '<stream><streamName>helloWorld.flv</streamName><title>Amazing Stuff, Dude!</title><description>This stream is awesome-cool.</description><fileSystemPath>/home/rfkrocktk/Desktop/helloWorld.flv</fileSystemPath></stream>' --header 'Content-Type: text/xml' http://localhost:8888/stream
