I want to use the TFS WebAccess to open/manage work items.

I have found some documentation here on how to open work items using an URL: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb822136%28VS.90%29.aspx

http:// Server : Port /wi.aspx?pname= Project &wit= Type &[ Field1 ]= Value1 &[ Field2 ]= Value2

Is there some documented way to use POST to attach items and provide other details in one HTTP call?

There is no REST api (or other way) on web access to post changes to work items. It is a great idea though. Please use user voice to file your suggestion. This place is actively monitored by the TFS product group for future features.

After some digging-up, it seems that the only way to currently do it is to either use the SOAP webservices, which are rather limited - TFS 2010 WebServices

Or you can go with trying to reverse engineer the HTTP protocol by mimicking the requests sent from a TFS client, for the methods that are not exposed above.

  • Be careful since calling the XML Web Services is specifically unsupported. Use of the .NET-based APIs in the TFS SDK is the supported mechanism for TFS extensibility for now. – Ed Blankenship Jul 23 '12 at 10:03
