Hi oVirt users,

I have (what I hope) is a simple problem.

I want to make an https request to start a VM via the oVirt REST API.

Here is the command that I think should work:

curl --user "admin:SECRETPASSWORD" --request POST --header "Content-Type: application/xml" --header "Accept: application/xml" --data '</action>' https://ovirtengine.localnet:443/api/vms/69c47a91-bbv1-4eda-b71d-7bddf82ee8ab/start

However I get a 404 in response (see below):

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>404 Not Found</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Not Found</h1>
<p>The requested URL /api/vms/60c47a91-bca1-4eda-b71d-7bddf82ee8ab/start was not found on this server.</p>

</body></html>

Where have I made a mistake here?
