+- Playing with [strest](https://github.com/eykhagen/strest) to test the DSpace REST API programatically
+- For example, given this `test.yaml`:
+
+```
+version: 1
+
+requests:
+  test:
+    method: GET
+    url: https://dspacetest.cgiar.org/rest/test
+    validate:
+      raw: "REST api is running."
+
+  login:
+    url: https://dspacetest.cgiar.org/rest/login
+    method: POST
+    data:
+      json: {"email":"test@dspace","password":"thepass"}
+
+  status:
+    url: https://dspacetest.cgiar.org/rest/status
+    method: GET
+    headers:
+      rest-dspace-token: Value(login)
+
+  logout:
+    url: https://dspacetest.cgiar.org/rest/logout
+    method: POST
+    headers:
+      rest-dspace-token: Value(login)
+
+# vim: set sw=2 ts=2:
+```
+
+- Works pretty well, though the DSpace `logout` always returns an HTTP 415 error for some reason
+- We could eventually use this to test sanity of the API for creating collections etc
+- A user is getting an error in her workflow:
+
+```
+2018-09-10 07:26:35,551 ERROR org.dspace.submit.step.CompleteStep @ Caught exception in submission step: 
+org.dspace.authorize.AuthorizeException: Authorization denied for action WORKFLOW_STEP_1 on COLLECTION:2 by user 3819
+```
+
+- Seems to be during submit step, because it's workflow step 1...?
