Re: [Handle-info] Modify handle value via API

[Robert R Tupelo-Schneck <schneck@cnri.reston.va.us>]

That API takes a handle record in the same format as the result of the GET.  You can include just the values, thus:

{"values":[ {"index":1,"type":"URL","data":{"format":"string","value":"http://www.zzz.edu”}} ]}

The confusing error message results from the server interpreting your JSON object as a handle record with no values.  We'll look into better handling of this in future versions.
