Web: Errors return XML not JSON

Just trying to get my PHP wrapper to get a token from /CastleOS/service/web/AuthenticateUser_PlainText The headers from the server state that the response body is JSON, however the actual response is XML, with a note saying
Method not allowed. Please see the service help page for constructing valid requests to the service.
The service help page, also has the same problem. Headers specify JSON, but HTML is returned. The help page should be in HTML, but any errors given back to the caller should be in JSON, so they can be handled programmatically.

If it was giving you a response from the method, it would be JSON, but it seems like it's throwing an error instead and the method is never actually hit. Sounds like it's not connecting to the service? Does GetApplicationTitle work?

Yes, call to GetApplicationTitle returns
"CastleOS"
It seems I have something wrong. The error came up when I called the following URL
ToggleGroupPower?groupId=4&power=1
But when I did
ToggleGroupPower?groupId=4&power=true
No error was thrown. So it seems, if the expected data is not in the right format, that error is thrown. The trick is, working out what the data should be in

Yup, you'll have to use the docs I sent to see the expected format...
