How to complete the challenge POST /todos (201) max out content

How to complete the challenge POST /todos (201) max out content to successfully create a todo item in the application where the title and the description are the maximum length.

POST /todos (201) max out content

Issue a POST request to create a todo with maximum length allowed title and description fields

• POST request will create a todo if the details are valid when using the /todos end point
• 201 is a status code meaning that we supplied valid details and a new item was created
• In this case we are asked to make title field and description field contents the maximum length
• The API Documentation for the todos endpoint says that a title Maximum length allowed is 50
• The API Documentation for the todos endpoint says that a description Maximum length allowed is 200

Basic Instructions

• Issue a POST request to end point "/todos"
  • https://apichallenges.eviltester.com/todos
• The request should have an X-CHALLENGER header to track challenge completion
• The content-type in the message should be application/json because we are sending a JSON payload
• The Payload should have a title containing 50 characters and a description of 200 characters length.

    {
        "title": "this title has just enough characters to validate.",
        "doneStatus": true,
        "description": "This description has just enough characters to validate because it is exactly 200 characters in length. I had to use a tool to check this - so I should have used a CounterString to be absolutely sure."
    }

• The response status code should be 201 because the request is valid and the todo item created
• The body of the response will be the todo details

{
  "errorMessages": [
    "Failed Validation: Maximum allowable length exceeded for title - maximum allowed is 50"
  ]
}

Hints:

• when testing for field lengths CounterString tools can be useful to generate strings of the exact length required
• a 201 response usually has a Location header with a URL which we could GET to see the created item
