Kevin, thank you for the bit about using RTDEBUG, this is very useful!!

I tried that from the command line and from the output I see it is 
POSTing to http://localhost//REST/1.0/search/group. All the groups are 
correctly reported.

So it seems my problem was just that I was writing "groups" in stead of 
"group" in the URL.
However, when I try this from the browser (Firefox) I still get the same 
error as before:

no value sent for required parameter 'query'
Stack:
   [/opt/rt4/share/html/REST/1.0/autohandler:54]
   [/opt/rt4/sbin/../lib/RT/Interface/Web.pm:680]
   [/opt/rt4/sbin/../lib/RT/Interface/Web.pm:368]
   [/opt/rt4/share/html/autohandler:53]


There must still be something that's escaping me.

This could be greatly improved if there was some kind of documentation 
on the REST protocol as implemented by RT, besides the largely 
incomplete one that is on WIKIA.
Without that, the only way is discovering it by trial and error.

T.I.A.
