Create Host Record.. record:host with Powershell against WAPI V2.0

[#1]

Basically I canoot get this to work in PS or in Pearl which makes me wonder if the syntax has changed A Get command: https://10.10.61.20/wapi/v2.0/record:host the Get Result: bullet3falserecord:host_ipv4addr/ZG5zLmhvc3RfYWRkcmVzcyQubm9uX0ROU19ob3N0X3Jvb3QuMC4xNDMxMDA2MTg0MjE4LmJ1bGxldDMuMTAuMTAuNjEuMzAu:10.10.61.30/bullet3/%2000:00:00:00:00:0010.10.61.30bullet3record:host/ZG5zLmhvc3QkLm5vbl9ETlNfaG9zdF9yb290LjAuMTQzMTAwNjE4NDIxOC5idWxsZXQz:bullet3/%20 The above is correct theere is only one host configured on the system... the problem arises when I try to create a host A POST command: https://10.10.61.20/wapi/v2.0/record:host?{{'ipv4addrs':%20[{'ipv4addr':%20'10.10.61.31'}],%20'name'...

I'm pretty sure that your problem is that you need to specify that the data submitted as part of the POST request is in JSON format. For example, if I do the following Curl command then it works as expected and the host record is successfully created:

curl --tlsv1 --user 'admin:infoblox' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{"name": "foobar.example.com", "ipv4addrs": [{"ipv4addr": "192.168.1.15"}]}' 'https://gm.example.com/wapi/v2.0/record:host'

However if I omit the --header option, as in the following command:

curl --tlsv1 --user 'admin:infoblox' --data '{"name": "foobar.example.com", "ipv4addrs": [{"ipv4addr": "192.168.1.16"}]}' 'https://gm.example.com/wapi/v2.0/record:host'

then I get the exact same error you're seeing.

I have similar error

{ "Error": "AdmConProtoError: Unknown argument/field: 'ipv4addrs'", 
  "code": "Client.Ibap.Proto", 
  "text": "Unknown argument/field: 'ipv4addrs'"
}

when doing PUT request  https://[GRID]//wapi/v2.3/record:a/_ref (reference here) and neither { [ { "ipv4addr":"1.1.1.31" } ] } nor { "name":"webt.xxx.com","ipv4addrs":[ { "ipv4addr":"1.1.1.31" } ] } help.
