I did the following request use REST API, but it returns this error: The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.

I am quite not so sure what to write in two restURI. Helps please.

{

“restURI”: “[http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/](http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/)_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/startupstreams”,

“serverName”: “”,

“saveFieldList”: [

“”

],

“version”: “”,

“Streams”: [

{

“restURI”: “[http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/](http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/)_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/startupstreams”,

“mediaCasterType”: “rtp”,

“instance”: “”,

“serverName”: “”,

“saveFieldList”: [

“”

],

“version”: “”,

“streamName”: “main2.stream”,

“applicationName”: “544299-1”

}

]

}
