Redmine

Hi Michael,

this is expected behavior in Redmine.
Updating a journal does not work via URL parameters. The controller reads the data only from the request body, exactly like the UI does.

You must send the empty note in the request body. This will work:

curl --request PUT \
  --url https://redmine.example.com/journals/4.json \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'X-Redmine-API-Key: 71c4e5e1c2c0ddadd708632ab6f8dd4caabd02f6' \
  --data '{
  "journal": {
    "notes": "" 
  }
}'

This uses the same code path as the UI.
If the journal has no details and notes are empty, Redmine deletes it automatically.

Hello Florian

Thank you for your helpful tip. After spending days nearly at our wits' end over the numerous errors, the problem turned out to be very easy to solve: the URL accessed via a proxy had been altered in a way that caused these errors. We didn't need to investigate any further.
