[arin-tech-discuss] Problems creating recipient org?

Wed May 29 15:38:31 EDT 2013

(Sorry about all the emails, I keep running into issues and there's very 
little documentation outside of the API method lists)

I'm trying to create a recipient org, and I keep getting a 404 error 
back.  This is pretty confusing, as the PARENTNETHANDLE I'm using 
definitely exists.

For example, I am sending the following request to https://reg.arin.net:

POST /rest/net/NET-64-237-32-0-1/org?apikey=API-AAAA-BBBB-CCCC-DDDD HTTP/1.1
Host: reg.arin.net
Accept: text/xml
Content-Type: text/xml
Content-Length: 344

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<org xmlns="http://www.arin.net/regrws/core/v1">
.....
</org>

and getting the following back:

< HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

The only information I've been able to find about this is someone using 
PUT instead of POST.  What am I missing here?  Given that I'm getting a 
404 back I'm thinking that I have the wrong URL.  I can't seem to find 
any other URL that I could possibly use though.  The NET object I'm 
using definitely exists: 
http://whois.arin.net/rest/net/NET-64-237-32-0-1/pft , so that's not it 
either.
