VAPIX Unexpected Error - Network Settings Endpoint

[wgonzalez2323]

To whoever it may concern, hope you are having a wonderful week.

I ran into a consistent issue.
The VAPIX endpoint http:///axis-cgi/network_settings.cgi seems to not want to work on an ACAP. 
I'm grabbing information from other POST endpoints and I used the provided VAPIX ACAP example as a base, but for some reason I have trouble with the network_settings endpoint.
I was able to grab the network information using Postman (an API platform) with Digest authentication, so I attempted a Digest solution but that resulted in the same error. 
As a final confirmation, I attempted the provided VAPIX ACAP example with the network_settings endpoint and received the same error.

Thank you for any assistance.

What version of AXIS OS are you using?

It seems to work for me on 11.11.73.

I notice the logs mention both 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.0.12; I seem to remember the correct one changing at some point, but I can't remember when.

Hello @wgonzalez2323.

Since the poolman is working, I'm assuming that the network_settings.cgi request is correct. So, check if your code contains the JSON headers in vapix_post

// JSON headers
struct curl_slist* headers = NULL;
headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "Content-Type: application/json");
headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "Accept: application/json");
curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, headers);

The attached vapix_example.c is working correctly.

Expected output:
