API issue when attempting to POST custom field

Hi there,

Attempting to add an issue containing a CUSTOM field:

curl --insecure -X POST -H "Content-Type: text/xml" -d "<issue><subject>MyTest</subject><project_id>1</project_id><description>desc1</description><custom_fields type="array"><custom_field id="2"><value>Sev2</value></custom_field></custom_fields></issue>" http://4216cd0mykeyhere571938e60:X@my.ip.address.here:8888/redmine/issues.xml

I get this as an error:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<title>Redmine 500 error</title>

</style>

<h1>Internal error</h1>

<p><a href="javascript:history.back()">Back</a></p>
</body>
</html>

The issue posts successfully WITHOUT the custom field... what on god's green earth am I doing wrong???

Thanks...

ps) I'd love the syntax for being able to 'UPDATE' (PUT?) issues as well

You may want to use single quotes instead of double quotes for your data. This may work:

curl -k -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -X POST -d "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?><issue><subject>MyTest</subject><project_id>1</project_id><description>desc1</description><custom_fields type='array'><custom_field id='2'><value>Sev2</value></custom_field></custom_fields></issue>" http://4216cd0mykeyhere571938e60:X@my.ip.address.here:8888/redmine/issues.xml
