Hi, 

I am trying to use the ckan http api to update the resources in a certain dataset. What I do is just to send the post request with the body as a json file like this: 

{
    "resource": [
        {
            "resource_group_id": "d1ed31c4-c356-4f9a-aaaf-6b79ba2f4efd",
            "hash": "",
            "description": "",
            "format": "",
            "url": "http://udco.tw.rpi.edu/ckan/storage/f/2013-10-09-123102/DataScience_2013_Assignment-2.pdf",
            "revision_gtimestamp": "",
            "state": "active",
            "position": 0,
            "revision_id": "",
            "id": ""
        }
    ],
    "num_resources": 1
}

and ckan says what I send is __junk. 

However, if I try to send 

{
    "resource": [],
    "num_resources": 1
}

it works perfectly. I saw some of the previous post on this issue and figure out it might be the problem with the fields. Does anyone know what's the required field that I need to send in the json file? Thanks!

Cheers
Yu
