Please, ANSWER this question AT https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37566773/sdc-from-the-cli-cannot-install-a-product-on-vm

Question:
SDC from the CLI. Cannot install a product on VM

Description:
Following what says here, I got a connection refused using this curl:

curl -v -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/xml" -H "X-Auth-Token: 756cfb31e062216544215f54447e2716" -H "Tenant-Id: your-tenant-id" -X POST "http://saggita.lab.fi-ware.org:8080/sdc/rest/vdc/

/productInstance" -data-binary @

Comment: I used the file test-data as payload, I show later what payload I am using.

With that petition (with the appropriate auth token and specific parameters for my environment) I got:

Unexpected character ('<' (code 60)): expected a valid value (number, String, array, object, 'true', 'false' or 'null')

Seems is expecting JSON instead of XML, so I rearranged like this:

cat test-data | curl --insecure -v -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -H "Accept: application/xml" -H "X-Auth-Token: 756cfb31e062216544215f54447e2716" -H "Tenant-Id: your-tenant-id" -X POST "https://saggita.lab.fi-ware.org:8443/sdc/rest/vdc/

/productInstance" -data-binary @

And I got this message no matter how I change payload:

I tried this two payloads (with the example of installing apache):

<productInstanceDto>
<vm>
<ip>MYIP</ip>
<fqn>same as hostname, I don't have DNS resolution</fqn>
<hostname>MYHOSTNAME</hostname>
</vm>
<product>
<productDescription/>
<name>apache2</name>
</product>
<attributes>
<key>custom_att_02</key>
<value>default_value_plain</value>
<type>Plain</type>
</attributes>
</productInstanceDto>

What I see as a very minimialist and clear payload

<productInstanceDto>
<vm>
<ip>MYIP</ip>
</vm>
<product>
<name>apache2</name>
</product>
</productInstanceDto>

By the way, I see so unfortunate fields like fqdn (could be missing, no dns resolution on that server), version (why I have to know the version of the product I want to install, this does not appear in the Product Catalogue), the missing of VM_ID parameter: available, easy and unique.

What I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
