Get-MsrcCvrfDocument : Cannot retrieve the dynamic parameters for the cmdlet.

[vrdse]

On Windows 7 with PowerShell 3 I get the following error:

Get-MsrcCvrfDocument "2016-Aug" -Verbose

Get-MsrcCvrfDocument : Cannot retrieve the dynamic parameters for the cmdlet. Unable to get online the list of CVRF ID

Presumably that is because Invoke-RestMethod doesn't accept the "Accept" header.

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri 'https://api.msrc.microsoft.com/Updates?api-Version=2016-08-01' -Headers @{ 'Api-Key' = 'x' 'Accept' = 'application/json' }

Invoke-RestMethod : The 'Accept' header must be modified using the appropriate property or method. Parameter name: name

Edit: On Windows 2012 R2 with PowerShell 5.0 i get the same error for Get-MsrcCvrfDocument but Invoke-RestMethod is working. Please note that I'm behind a proxy and set the proxy configuration as $PSDefaultParameterValues (see #5 ). Might also be related to that.

I am experiencing the same issue in 1.6.6. However, when Get-CVRFID is sourced and ran directly, it works (this confirms the problem in Get-MsrcCvrfDocument, however despite my efforts I am unable to narrow-down exactly what Get-MsrcCvrfDocument is doing wrong before it calls Get-CVRFID).

Reproduction steps below, along w/ error analysis and information on my platform.

To clarify, my organization is still unable to utilize the API. This is a concern, since the BulletinSearch.xlsx has not been updated since March (we use that resource to get the patch 'Title' names. See Issue #2 )

Issue still persists in 1.7.2 with PS 5.0.1
