Forming POST Requests

[vektor-dev]

I've found it easy to make GET requests using the client, but having problems trying to fire a products object onto a POST request. Something like:

$product = [ "description" => "Test description", "gift_message_available" => 1, "meta_description" => "Test meta", "meta_keyword" => "Test keyword", "meta_title" => "Test title", "msrp" => 11.015000000000001, "msrp_display_actual_price_type" => 1, "msrp_enabled" => 1, "name" => "Test", "price" => 25.5, "attribute_set_id" => "4", "short_description" => "Test short description", "sku" => "simple4f5490f31959f", "special_from_date" => "02/16/2012", "special_price" => 11.199999999999999, "special_to_date" => "03/17/2012", "status" => 1, "stock_data" => [ "backorders" => 1, "enable_qty_increments" => 0, "is_in_stock" => 0, "is_qty_decimal" => 0, "manage_stock" => 1, "max_sale_qty" => 1, "min_qty" => 1.5600000000000001, "min_sale_qty" => 1, "notify_stock_qty" => -50.990000000000002, "qty" => 1, "use_config_manage_stock" => 1, "use_config_min_qty" => 1, "use_config_min_sale_qty"=> 1, "use_config_max_sale_qty" => 1, "use_config_backorders"=> 1, "use_config_enable_qty_inc"=>1, "use_config_notify_stock_qty"=>1 ], "tax_class_id" => "2", "type_id" => "simple", "use_config_gift_message_available" => 0, "visibility" => "4", "weight" => 125 ];

$request = $client->post('/api/rest/products', ['json' => [$product]])->send()->json();

I know this product object works as its been used over a REST client on my mac. Here's my error.

Client error response [status code] 400 [reason phrase] Bad Request [url] http://

Can't for the life of me figure out why?

Many thanks in advance.
