Artifactory Create Repository Rest API does not work - json

Question

I have Artifactory pro license, and as the following pages provide, I called rest api.
https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/RTF/Artifactory+REST+API#ArtifactoryRESTAPI-CreateRepository
I have verified that all other APIs such as repository listing, account creation and listing works normally, but I have confirmed that the repository creation api does not work with 400 errors.
I wanted to see the error by changing the log level, but there was no information about why there was a 400 error at the trace log level.
Below are related logs:

My Artifactory Version: 6.0.2
Reponse Message from Artifactory:
{
"errors" : [ {
"status" : 400,
"message" : "No valid type of repository found.\n"
} ]
}
Repository Create JSON Message*:

The error in this block is on purpose, and the code highlighting finds it quite nicely, but when this post was originally made, highlighting was not available on SO.

Answer 1

In your JSON you are missing " after the rclass.
You wrote ' "rclass: ' and it should be ' "rclass": '
Once fixing this the command should work properly.
Good luck :)

Answer 2

This error is (somehow) returned by Artifactory if the content-type header contains the charset, for example: Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8
Try with simply Content-Type: application/json
