Issue when try to use API via REST interface on 4.4.5

Hi, there

I have an issue when trying to call API via REST interface on CiviCRM 4.4.5 

The detail of URL request is
Code: [Select]
http://localhost/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/rest.php?api_key=1234&key=1ac52f39bc8d5530d14b3eaa1c449ce6&json=1&debug=1&entity=Contact&action=get&id=1
api_key=1234    (set in an admin record in civicrm_contact table)
key=1ac52f39bc8d5530d14b3eaa1c449ce6  (got it from civicrm.settings.php)
json=1
debug=1
entity=Contact
action=get
id=1

Only response I got is
Code: [Select]
{
"error_message":"Unknown function invocation.",
"is_error":1
}
The way of calling API with REST interface came from
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Using+the+API#UsingtheAPI-REST
and
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/API+Security

This issue didn't happen with CiviCRM 4.4.4
Please help, thanks

Ehm... Strange your rest call seems to be ok. Could you investigate where the error unknown function invocation is set? And does it go away when you use lowercase entity/action?

Hi, jaapjansma

Thanks for your reply.
I have tried lowercase on entity/action. It doesn't work either, same response I got.
However, I'm investigating further on where the 'Unknown function invocation.' is set.

I hope this is not related to API changes in
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/API+changes#APIchanges-4.4.5:Addedclient-sideCRM.api3()wrapper

The wiki you are referring to is about calling the API from Javascript but you use the REST interface. Does your api call work from the api explorer?
e.g. in your site go to the page index.php?q=civicrm/api/explorer

You may want to take a look at this issue/fix - could be related:
