Creating a new department with Rest API

    I have the syntax correct. I've been unable to create a new department.

    For testing on macbook, I've run:
    --
    curl "http://<hostname here>/api/index.php?e=/Base/Department/&title='hi'&app='tickets'&type='public'" -d "title='hi'&app='tickets'&type='public'&apikey=<somthing>&salt=<something>&signature=<something>"; echo ""
    --
    I've post the data in the post and in the URL just to make sure it gets through. No combination of app= and title= and type= has allowed me to create a department.

    Each time I receive the following:

    Invalid Module Specified. You can only create departments for tickets and livechat module.

    Please help! :)

    Posting against /Core/Test/ results in the following:

    --

    POSTArray
    (
    [0] =>
    )
    Array
    (
    [title] => 'hi'
    [app] => 'tickets'
    [type] => 'public'
    [apikey] => dfgdf
    [salt] => dfgdfg
    [signature] => dfgdfg
    )
    --

    Shouldn't these be in POSTArray?

    So the Rest API Documentation needs to be updated

    Should be
