Why am I receiving a 500 error when making a Viewing Session PUT request?

Question

Why am I receiving a 500 error when making a Viewing Session PUT request?

Answer

This issue can occur if you forget to prefix the {viewingSessionId} portion of the URL with u, or if you simply request an invalid {viewingSessionId} in the call.

For example, the PUT call should look like the following:

PUT /ViewingSession/u{viewingSessionId}/SourceFile
