This is driving me crazy. Trying to import a playlist with a post request. The log shows a parameter missing, but it’s clearly there! Any ideas?

May 10, 2020 00:51:33.082 [14556] DEBUG - Request: [XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:65352 (Allowed Network (Subnet))] POST /playlists/upload?sectionID=3&path=o:\Playlists\testlist.m3u (4 live) GZIP Signed-in Token  
May 10, 2020 00:51:33.082 [14556] ERROR - Missing parameter sectionID.

Why the heck does it keep stating that Sectionid is missing when it is in the post?
