I'm looking at writing a component to allow publishing of content to Show and Share.  I'd like to be able to test as I go.  I requested a trial account and downloaded the DMS API Tester.  I followed the instructions in the API documentation under "Checking the API Status".  I get a HTTP Status of 500 on the response.  Should I consider this a problem with the DMS API Tester or is the API not supposed to work with trial accounts?  Thanks.

I also have problems with trial account. I'm developing application which uploads video file to Cisco Show & Share so I started playing with DMS API Tester tool. It works fine for getPublicCategories and getUserDetails requests but when I try addContent or getAccessTicket it returns HTTP status code 403. The same thing happens when I do it manually using curl tool. See below for sample conversation with Show & Share server. Does it mean that upload through DMS API is not available on trial account or maybe I'm doing something wrong?
