    For adding worklog to an existing request:

    http://<servername>:<port number>/sdpapi/request/<request id>/worklogss

    1. The operation name "ADD_WORKLOG"  should be sent as a "POST attribute" with key "OPERATION_NAME".

    2. The technician key should be sent as a "POST attribute" with key "TECHNICIAN_KEY".

    3. Input is an XML string sent as "POST attribute" with key "INPUT_DATA".

    Note: Please note that the Input and Output XML formats have been changed. But for compatibility reasons, the Input operation will support both the formats.
