[Rt-devel] REST Interface for Creating Ticket?

[Mike Melson]

Success!

Based on the comments in this thread, I was able to use the following 
HTML form to create a new ticket:

<form method="POST" 
action="https://support.<myservernamehere>.com/REST/1.0/ticket/new/">
  User: <input type="text" name="user" size="20"><br>
  Pass: <input type="text" name="pass" size="20"><br>
  Content: <textarea rows="10" name="content" cols="30">id: new
Text: This is the ticket text
Subject: This is my ticket
Queue: General</textarea><br>
  <p><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"><input type="reset" 
value="Reset" name="B2"></p>
</form>

Interestingly, the Queue field had to be at the end of the list or it 
didn't work.

Thanks again for the excellent help! I'll start the integration via php 
using the code Tim supplied (thanks Tim!)
