How to update a lookup table using REST API?

Hi all

Hope someone can help me with this.

I am building a custom application, which extracts data from a db and saves it as a lookup table csv file, and uploading the file to the staging dir (lookup_tmp)

My problem is that when i try to move the file from the staging dir and replacing with the lookup () already in place, i get:

curl -k -u admin:password https://localhost:8089/servicesNS/admin/search/data/lookup-table-files/lookup.csv \

-d eai:data=/opt/splunk/var/run/splunk/lookup_tmp/lookup.csv

"This resource can be found at http://localhost:8089/en-US/servicesNS/admin/search/data/lookup-table-files/lookup.csv."

HTTP code: "303"

303 meaning that the result should be found elsewhere. Can anybody tell me where that is?
I have been searching high an low and can't find anything that matches this problem.

I expected the result to be some atom xml, but this is obviously not what I'm getting.

Any advice would be great.
