That is pretty wierd;  are you attempting to update a contact or create
a new contact?   The first thing I'd check is that you are specifying
the "entityName" attribute and spelling it correctly.  That is the most
likely cause for something like this as zOGI wouldn't know what to do
with the data.

That is harmless, it just means SOPE doesn't recognize the user-agent
string in your HTTP request.

That makes sense,  I'm pretty sure that zOGI is failing to process the
provided struct.  The processing of a struct is based on the objectId
and entityName.  entityName drives it to the appropriate patch (Contact,
Enterprise, etc...) and objectId [0 or not 0] determines if it is a
create or update operation.

That also makes sense and it guarantees you have a valid entityName and
objectId.  So long as the response to the putObject has bumped the
version attribute it is working.

You can enable the zOGIDebugEnabled and it might tell you more.
