[Dustin J. Mitchell [:dustin] (he/him)]

As far as I can tell from the API docs and inventory.py, this is doing the right thing, but it gets a 404 :(

From watching the web frontend, maybe I want POST /systems/new/?

The docs in https://mana.mozilla.org/wiki/display/SYSADMIN/inventory_api_system_create are, I think, copy/pasted and not completely edited..

The docs were incorrectly stating http://, I updated to the correct https://
