I am trying to make a POST with javax. Keep getting the 400 bad request response code. It suggests that there is something wrong with the json being sent(?) I have checked the json a hundred times, it looks pretty good to me. What am I missing?

enter code here

Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
Entity payload = Entity.json("{  'offset': 0,  'limit': 15,  'query': 'ad',  'search_type': 'global'}");
Response response = client.target("https:******/contacts/search")
                .request(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_TYPE)
                .header("Accept", "application/json")
                .header("authToken", ACCESS_TOKEN)
                .post(payload);

can you post what the http header looks like? Also, are you setting a url? – Paul Nikonowicz Oct 28 '15 at 22:42
I think your url is mangled. it should be https://... shouldn't it? – Paul Nikonowicz Oct 28 '15 at 22:42
JSON syntax requires a double quote character `"` not a `'`. Can this cause your issue? – wero Oct 28 '15 at 22:54
@wero modified it to { "offset": 0, "limit": 15, "query": "ad", "search_type": "global"} --> This gives out a syntax error. Tried few combinations, same issue. – irrelevantUser Oct 28 '15 at 22:57
Did you escape it like `Entity.json("{ \"offset\":...` – wero Oct 28 '15 at 22:58
Escaping worked! I had not escaped it. This is my first time, I appreciate your help. Really, I mean, REALLY. – irrelevantUser Oct 28 '15 at 23:01
@pascalsAger great! good luck – wero Oct 28 '15 at 23:03
