Most probably you have TP installed on-site on IIS 5 (Windows 2000/XP). There is a known bug in IIS 5, that was fixed only in IIS 6. The workaround is to append '.asmx'
extension to the request:
Instead
api/v1/UserStories/?include=[Name]
Use
api/v1/UserStories.asmx/?include=[Name]
Instead
api/v1/UserStories/45/Tasks?include=[Name]
Use
api/v1/UserStories.asmx/45/Tasks?include=[Name]
How can I use REST api to create reports?
The easiest way is to save any XML output from browser and open it in MS Excel as an XML table. MS Excel will convert an XML to an ordinal worksheet.
How can I use Windows Authentication for REST api in .NET?
var client = new WebClient();
var uri = new Uri("http://targetprocess/api/v1/UserStories");
client.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials.GetCredential(uri, "Negotiate");
var data = client.DownloadString(uri);
