Use REST api for editing directly

Hi,
I need to edit a stand alone table in my javascript api application. I thought it woud be simple to do this with restful request, but having problems.

I have a proxy page set up and apparently working. Here is code snippet using public arcgis server resource. I have hard-coded the content for now. Once I get it working, the input will be dynamically generated.

//proxy page...
esri.config.defaults.io.proxyUrl = "../GISProxy/proxy.ashx";

//function to edit features
function addFeature(){
    var requestHandle = esri.request({
      url: "http://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/SanFrancisco/311Incidents/FeatureServer/1/addFeatures",
      content: '[{"attributes" : {"agree_with_incident" : "2", "notes" : "problemo grande"}}]',
      handleAs: "json",
      load: requestSucceeded,
      error: requestFailed
}, {useProxy:true});
}

The request fails. I suspect it is a problem with the content property. When I go to the above url and enter that string into the dialog, it is sucessful, but how to do this with ajax?

Thanks for any tips.

Domenico,
Thanks for your response. It still appears there is a problem with the content. Looking at this in firebug, it appears that each character in the content string is seen as a separate parameter. See attachment. Do I need to pass in an object instead of a string maybe....

Zorba I have try and I haven't problem:


//proxy page...
        esri.config.defaults.io.proxyUrl = "ProxyPage/proxy.ashx";



        function requestSucceeded(response, io) {
            console.log("Succeeded: ", response);
        }

        function requestFailed(error, io) {
            console.log("Failed: ", error);
        }




            //function to edit features
            function addFeature(){
                var url = esri.urlToObject("http://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/SanFrancisco/311Incidents/FeatureServer/1/addFeatures?features=[{'attributes' : {'agree_with_incident' : '2', 'notes' : 'problemo grande1'}}]&f=json");
                var requestHandle = esri.request({
                url:url.path,
                content:url.query,
                callbackParamName:"callback",
                load:requestSucceeded,
                error:requestFailed
            }, {useProxy:true, usePost:true});
            }
