[ckan-dev] Insert automated data into Datastore

Hi again.

I have now come a little further:

The above has not been solved yet. Any suggestions?

I found out that it was my java inputStreaming that was of ( check
getInputStream vs. getErrorStream if you ever run into something similar).
When I found out that this was the problem, then I found out that the
actual problem was that I hadn't created the datastore yet (surprise :-) ).
