Update account's custom field via REST API

Hello!

I need help with updating account via REST API. I have the custom field named “billing_user_id”. I tried to fill it like this (ruby code):

response = Unirest.put "http://host/api/rest/latest/accounts/12", headers: {"Content-Type" => "application/json", "Accept-Encoding" => "UTF-8", "Authorization" => ... , "X-WSSE" => ... }, parameters: '{"account":{"additional":{"billing_user_id":"123"}}}'

1 2 3 4 5 6

response = Unirest.put "http://host/api/rest/latest/accounts/12",            headers: {"Content-Type"    => "application/json",                      "Accept-Encoding" => "UTF-8",                      "Authorization"   => ... ,                      "X-WSSE"          => ... },           parameters: '{"account":{"additional":{"billing_user_id":"123"}}}'

Account ID = 12.

Header of response is:

{:server=>"nginx/1.2.1", :content_type=>"application/json", :connection=>"keep-alive", :x_powered_by=>"PHP/5.4.4-14+deb7u14", :set_cookie=>["CRMID=e94tjja8kpv25k7ln1e7oqqt57; path=/; HttpOnly"], :cache_control=>"no-cache", :date=>"Fri, 12 Sep 2014 14:54:31 GMT"}

1 2	{:server=>"nginx/1.2.1", :content_type=>"application/json", :connection=>"keep-alive", :x_powered_by=>"PHP/5.4.4-14+deb7u14", :set_cookie=>["CRMID=e94tjja8kpv25k7ln1e7oqqt57; path=/; HttpOnly"], :cache_control=>"no-cache", :date=>"Fri, 12 Sep 2014 14:54:31 GMT"}

Response code is: 204 (no content).

So could you help me with it, please? Which is the correct way to fill this field?

Thanks a lot for the great product.
