Updating landing page content: system error

Hello,

I'm trying to update landing page content using the same body as the one provided on the website here:

http://developers.marketo.com/rest-api/assets/landing-page-templates/#create_and_update

This is the query I'm sending:

I've tried both with and without the header:

Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=---------------------------9051914041544843365972754266

in the header section

But I'm getting system error either way.

The landing page template with Id 5 is in draft mode and has just been created.

Any feedback will be appreciated,

Thanks.

Re: Updating landing page content: system error

The issue was that the example request body was incorrect.  You need to specify name="content" (instead of name="text").  Also need to specify filename="name_of_file".  Something like this:

content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=--------------------------435851813185237176536801

----------------------------435851813185237176536801

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="content"; filename="content.txt"

Content-Type: text/plain

<html>

<head>

</head>

<body>

<div>Placeholder Content</div>

</body>

</html>

----------------------------435851813185237176536801--

And here is  Postman screenshot using "form-data" (instead of "raw"):

Re: Updating landing page content: system error

The outer Content-Type certainly needs to be in the HTTP header (and only there) not in the body of the request (otherwise, there's nothing describing the body).

What's the output when you GET the current content?

Re: Updating landing page content: system error

Hello,

does anyone have any insights on why this results in a system error? I tried the constant prefix -- and adding line breaks after the header, but unfortunately still got system error.

Thanks.

Re: Updating landing page content: system error

The boundary you declare in the header is missing a trailing "6".

Oops, I missed the last 6 when I was copying it over to this webpage.  The trailing 6 was present on my postman request.

Re: Updating landing page content: system error

The sample should really separate the HTTP header from the message body, IMO... it makes it seem like you should just put the header in the body.
