[Pdns-users] "HTTP/1.1 422 Unprocessable Entity" when creating a zone

[Tomasz Chmielewski]

Using 4.2.1, I'm getting "HTTP/1.1 422 Unprocessable Entity" when trying 
to create a zone as described on 
https://doc.powerdns.com/md/httpapi/README/
What am I doing wrong?

'{"name":"example.org.", "kind": "Native", "masters": [], "nameservers": 
["ns1.example.org.", "ns2.example.org."]}' validates fine with jq:

# echo '{"name":"example.org.", "kind": "Native", "masters": [], 
"nameservers": ["ns1.example.org.", "ns2.example.org."]}' | jq
{
   "name": "example.org.",
   "kind": "Native",
   "masters": [],
   "nameservers": [
     "ns1.example.org.",
     "ns2.example.org."
   ]
}



# curl -X POST --data '{"name":"example.org.", "kind": "Native", 
"masters": [], "nameservers": ["ns1.example.org.", "ns2.example.org."]}' 
-v -H 'X-API-Key: my-key' 
http://10.58.150.164:8081/api/v1/servers/localhost/zones
Note: Unnecessary use of -X or --request, POST is already inferred.
