I am trying to help a friend in Germany with control of a Philips TV that has the REST API. I can send any sort of GET command to the TV over IP and I always get the correct response. When I send a POST command with a control command formatted as a JSON string, I always get back a 400 status which the API states is a bad request, in essence the JSON strong is not valid. I cannot see the error.

What would help me greatly is a sniffer trace of the traffic from a control system to a Philips TV that uses the Rest interface. In that way I could see the exact payload that works. The string I have been testing with is:

{"key":"VolumeUp"}

Any advice or assistance appreciated.

TIA

Barry
