      It seems that REST requests require time codes as the following for example:

      2012-05-05T01:01:01.123+1000

      The following time codes do not work:

      2012-05-05T01:01:01
2012-05-05T01:01:01Z
2012-05-05T01:01:01+1000
2012-05-05T01:01:01.123
2012-05-05T01:01:01.123Z

      The failed response:

      {"errorMessages":["Internal server error"],"errors":{}}

      An internal server error here doesn't help with understanding that the timecode is incorrect. This should return a more descriptive error, or support the ISO 8601 standard.

      To reproduce:

      Use the Google Chrome REST Console, enter request URI, eg:

      http://localhost:5003/rest/api/2/issue/HSP-2/worklog

      Request method: POST
      Content-Type: application/JSON
      RAW body, eg:

      {"started": "2012-05-05T01:01:01+1000", "timeSpent": "5m"}
