Hi all,
I'm currently trying to code an upload facility to salesforce using the Bulk API, however my efforts are in vain so far as i keep getting error 400 Bad Request InvalidJob Unable to Parse job when running the post request to create the job.

I believe, thx to another post i could see, that this is due to the URL use to parse the request that is not correct. In my case, i've tried with https://emea.salesforce.com/services/async/30.0/job

this is based on the instance i get from connecting through the SOAP Api's loginresult serverURL and the API Version showing in my WDSL Partenr file. I've seen sites that mentions emea.salesforce.com maps to eu0-api.salesforce.com when using API, but oddly enough when trying with this i encounter the exact same error.

here below the code i'm using to try to add a job entry and parse the web request

private static string AddJob(SforceService binding, string sOperation, string sObjectName)
        {
            string str = "", reqURL = "";
            byte[] bytes = null;
            XmlDocument reqDoc = null;
            XmlDocument responseXmlDoc = new XmlDocument();

            str = "" 
                + "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\r\n"
                + "<jobInfo xmlns=\"http://www.force.com/2009/06/asyncapi/dataload\">"
                + "   <operation></operation>"
                + "   <object></object>"
                + "   <contentType>CSV</contentType>"
                + "</jobInfo>";

            reqURL = "https://eu0-api.salesforce.com/services/async/30.0/job";
            reqDoc = new XmlDocument();
            reqDoc.LoadXml(str); 

            //xml modifications
            reqDoc.GetElementsByTagName("operation")[0].InnerText = sOperation;
            reqDoc.GetElementsByTagName("object")[0].InnerText = sObjectName;
            bytes = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(reqDoc.InnerXml);

            using (Stream respStream = Post(bytes, reqURL, binding.SessionHeaderValue.sessionId, "POST", "text/csv; charset=UTF-8"))
            {
                responseXmlDoc.Load(respStream);
                string sJobId = (responseXmlDoc != null ? responseXmlDoc.GetElementsByTagName("id")[0].InnerText : "");
                return sJobId;
            }
        }

private static Stream Post(byte[] bytes, string reqURL, string sSessionId, string sMethod, string sContentType)
        {
            WebRequest req = WebRequest.Create(reqURL);
            req.Method = sMethod;
            req.ContentType = sContentType;
            req.Headers.Add("X-SFDC-Session: " + sSessionId);

            if (bytes != null)
            {
                req.ContentLength = bytes.Length;
                System.IO.Stream strmHttpContent = req.GetRequestStream();
                strmHttpContent.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
                strmHttpContent.Close();
            }

            string sServerResponse;
            WebResponse resp = null;

            try
            {
                resp = req.GetResponse();

                if (((HttpWebResponse)resp).StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK)
                {
                    Stream dataStream = resp.GetResponseStream();
                    StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);
                    sServerResponse = reader.ReadToEnd();
                    resp.Close();
                }
            }
            catch (WebException ex)
            {
                using (WebResponse errorresp = ex.Response)
                {
                    HttpWebResponse httpresp = (HttpWebResponse)errorresp;
                    sServerResponse = string.Format("Error code: {0} ", httpresp.StatusCode);

                    using (Stream data = errorresp.GetResponseStream())
                    {
                        sServerResponse += new StreamReader(data).ReadToEnd();
                    }
                }
            }

            return resp.GetResponseStream();
        }

i would be grateful if any of you could guide me on this as i've been searching extensively all day with no progress so far.
