Site.save fails for sites with PEM Format Key

[tmsteen]

This happens when making any changes to a site and then attempting to save the site using Site.save(nsc).

Error Output:

Nexpose::APIError: NexposeAPI: POST request to /api/2.1/site_configurations/ failed. response body: { 
"errors" : [ "PEM-format Private Key must be specified for this action." ] 
} 
from /var/lib/gems/2.3.0/gems/nexpose-3.3.1/lib/nexpose/ajax.rb:166:in `request' 
from /var/lib/gems/2.3.0/gems/nexpose-3.3.1/lib/nexpose/ajax.rb:65:in `post'

Additional Troubleshooting:
The PUT URI is different for the API and GUI. We used wireshark and stunnel to SSL MITM the traffic.

1. API

"PUT /api/2.1/site_configurations/1" returns a HTTP 405 Method not allowed

2. GUI

"PUT /data/scan/config" is ok

This has been identified as a defect in the Nexpose 2.1 API itself.
