Hello, 

I'm a novice user of SpiraTeam as my organization have selected it as our main tool for requirements / test case generation.  I've begun looking at the available REST API and am attempting to utilize it to create a simple test set.  I'm a bit confused with all the elements in the request payload and would hope to get some guidance and clarity. 

I'm specifically looking at:  POST: projects/{project_id}/test-sets?parent_test_set_folder_id={parent_test_set_folder_id}

I've tried the following POST Request: 

http://hostname/SpiraTeam/Services/v4_0/RestService.svc/projects/284/test-sets?parent_test_set_folder_id=13242

Headers:

Cache-Control: no-cache

What is a valid request body?  I'm receiving the following error.  Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.  I don't have access to the server logs so I can not view more details to see where the issue is.
