[Pki-users] Approve Certificate Request with curl

Hi,

Thanks for the hint. Now, I make with curl the same queries than "a pki -U
http://dogtag.org:8080 -C nss_pwd -n caadmin ca-cert-request-review 8
--action approve"  (I'm using unsecure port to be able to capture
unencrypted queries to the API):

I start with a login and a review to get a nonce:

curl -s --cert-type P12 --cert ca_admin_cert.p12:<pkc12pwd>
https://dogtag.org:8443/ca/rest/account/login
curl -s -H "Accept: application/xml" --cert-type P12 --cert
ca_admin_cert.p12:<pkc12pwd>
https://dogtag.org:8443/ca/rest/agent/certrequests/08 | xmllint --format -
> 08.xml

The nonce is well generated:

$ grep nonce 08.xml
  <nonce>-8605088983470492766</nonce>

Then, I do a curl/POST to /ca/rest/agent/certrequests/8/approve, but the
request returns the error "Nonce for cert-request 8 does not exist"

curl -X POST  --cert-type P12 --cert ca_admin_cert.p12:<pkc12pwd>
https://dogtag.org:8443/ca/rest/agent/certrequests/8/approve --header
"Content-Type:application/xml" -H "Accept: application/json"
{
  "Attributes": {
    "Attribute": []
  },
  "ClassName": "com.netscape.certsrv.base.BadRequestException",
  "Code": 400,
  "Message": "Nonce for cert-request 8 does not exist"
}

Something is missing... any ideas?

BR
