you're trying to create a segment with node data here, or something
strange.

Saying 404 is correct as the documentation states:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/wiki/index.php/REST#Line_Segments

'404 NOT_FOUND means the node wasn't there in the first place.'


And nodes 58.408306 and 15.558601 don't exist, so it returned 404. Very
RESTful.

HTTP 500 HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR is documented also. 'This could mean
either the API isn't working itself, Apache, or the SQL server.'

In this instance it seems you were trying to upload bad data to the API,
which looked for non existant methods (because it couldn't create the
node objects) and fell over. Gracefully.

I've made a ticket for the bug

http://www.openstreetmap.org/trac/ticket/80#preview

What are you trying to do with OSM's API anyway?

have fun,
