I am trying to test post comment with the following URL https://api.stackexchange.com/2.1/posts/10305691/comments/add?key=HIDDEN&access_token=HIDDEN&site=stackoverflow&preview=true&body=text123456789123&client_id=HIDDEN **Request Headers** Accept: */* Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate,sdch Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.8 I get the following response: HTTP Error: 400 Bad Request { "error_id": 500, "error_name": "internal_error", "error_message": "this error has been logged" } But the same POST request works when run from the console at the [API doc][1]. So I used firebug to copy the full URL with parameters that was sent by the test console provided for /posts{id}/comments/add. I also copied the full list of request headers from firebug and tried using a REST client to test the same but I got the same error response as above. Is there anything I am missing here?
