Well I omitted user&password in the example above
The command I sent did actually trigger an update of the node.

Now when I use a post [option -d] as given in your example it works -
with curl.

But using POST with indy-sockets returns an Error 405: method not allowed.

So thanks for clearing up the matter regarding curl, but actually I
still can not use the api via indy-sockets.

The header is being sent - but obviously not recognized then.

If I am using DELETE (which would be the right thing to do IMHO) it
takes about a minute until an exception is created, that results in the
message:
connection closed gracefully.
