I am trying to put a message using MQ REST API .
if i use this command : 
curl -k https://localhost:9443/ibmmq/rest/v1/admin/qmgr/ 
I get the result saying queue manager is running. 
C:\Users\bono235>curl -k https://localhost:9443/ibmmq/rest/v2/admin/qmgr/
{"qmgr": [
{
"name": "LNIBI06",
"state": "running"
},
{
"name": "LNIWI42",
"state": "running"
}
]}
So I tried to put a messaging using this command with Content-type: text/plain
: curl -i -k https://localhost:9443/ibmmq/rest/v1/admin/qmgr/LNIBI06/queue/LokeshTest1/message -X POST -H "ibm-mq-rest-csrf-token: blank" -H "Content-Type: text/plain;charset=utf-8" -d "Hello World!"

I get error message saying content Type is invalid . Not sure why it did not like the content-type: text/plain

C:\Users\bono235>curl -k https://localhost:9443/ibmmq/rest/v1/admin/qmgr/LNIBI06/queue/LokeshTest1/smalan-norge.com -X POST -H "ibm-mq-rest-csrf-token: blank" -H "Content-Type: text/plain;charset=utf-8" -d "Hello World!"

{"error": [{
"action": "Resubmit the request using a valid 'Content-Type' header.",
"completionCode": 0,
"explanation": "The REST API request lacked a 'Content-Type' header or contained a 'Content-Type' header which was incorrect.",
"message": "MQWB0901E: The request did not specify a valid Content-Type. Only \"application/json\" optionally followed by \";charset=UTF-8\" is supported.",
"msgId": "MQWB0901E",
"reasonCode": 0,
"type": "rest"
}]}


So i tried using the content Type : application/json:

C:\Users\bono235>curl  -k https://localhost:9443/ibmmq/rest/v2/admin/qmgr/LNIBI06/queue/LokeshTest1/message -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8" -d "{"firstName":"John"}"

{"error": [{
"action": "Resubmit the request using a valid URI.",
"completionCode": 0,
"explanation": "There is no corresponding REST interface on the provided URI.",
"message": "MQWB0116E: The URI cannot be invoked as it does not correspond to an existing REST interface.",
"msgId": "MQWB0116E",
"reasonCode": 0,
"type": "rest"
}]}

I thought maybe I should escape characters for the double quotes in the message and tried this:

C:\Users\bono235>curl -k https://localhost:9443/ibmmq/rest/v1/admin/qmgr/LNIBI06/queue/LokeshTest1/message -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8" -d "{\"firstName\":\"John\"}"

{"error": [{
"action": "Resubmit the request using a valid URI.",
"completionCode": 0,
"explanation": "There is no corresponding REST interface on the provided URI.",
"message": "MQWB0116E: The URI cannot be invoked as it does not correspond to an existing REST interface.",
"msgId": "MQWB0116E",
"reasonCode": 0,
"type": "rest"
}]}

I still get the same error "No corresponding REST interface on the provided URI"

Can someone guide me what is the correct way to put a message using MQ REST API. 
Thank you all.

The error message "No corresponding REST interface on the provided URI" is telling you that you are using the wrong URI.

The messaging URI is more like: https://localhost:9443/ibmmq/rest/v1/messaging/qmgr/LNIBI06/queue/LokeshTest1/message

Note "messaging" in the URL where you have "admin".
