Posting a Bundle does not create contained resources

Question

I'm using he OSS FHIR Server and tried posting a Bundle containing a Practioner, Patient and QuestionnaireResponse. The Bundle itself posted to Cosmos but was not parsed, the individual resources were not created.

I read somethng about posting to "root", still didn't work.

Not sure if i'm missing something

Quoting the FHIR Wiki:

The Bundle resource type has an end-point like all most other resources. This end-point serves the usual interactions. Bundles are treated as static resources on the /Bundle end-point (i.e. when a batch, transaction, or message is POSTed to /Bundle, it is stored as is, and the content is not processed as batch, transaction, or message; instead, they are processed like normal resource, with indexing / auditing etc. Performing a GET /Bundle/[location] will return the same resource.

In short if you post your bundle to server.root.url/Bundle the bundle will be stored 'as is' without being processed, whereas if you post to server.root.url then the bundle will be processed as expected, creating contained resources.
