[ensembl-dev] Problem using REST VEP endpoint on pig

[Paolo Cozzi]

Dear all,

Using the new release of REST - VEP endpoint, I got a 400 error code for 
pig. More precisely, this is the command line I used:

$ curl -H "content-type:application/json" -H "accept:application/json" 
--data '{ "variants" : ["21 26960070 rs116645811 G A . . .", "21 
26965148 rs1135638 G A . . ." ] }' 
http://rest.ensembl.org/vep/pig/region --verbose

And this is the result:

* About to connect() to rest.ensembl.org port 80 (#0)
*   Trying 193.62.52.232... connected
* Connected to rest.ensembl.org (193.62.52.232) port 80 (#0)

Thank you for your support,
