Extended Latin and 400 Bad Request
Hello,
I try to create a new member with name that contains chars of extended Latin alphabet (Ñ, Í, Õ etc.). I use powershell Invoke-RestMethod command and generate a body on the fly.
I receive "...
Thanks! That's the error from the API, and it does indicate that the issue is that the contents of the request body couldn't be successfully decoded as JSON.
It sounds like the issue is with encoding these characters. That's generally done automatically, but that doesn't seem to be the case with PowerShell/Invoke-RestMethod.
I'm not a PowerShell expert, and it also looks like copying it onto the forum didn't work right here, but I believe you need to additionally encode the body like this:
$enc = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8 $body = $enc.GetBytes($body)
