VmWare Workstation API REST failed in method configparams

Question

I am trying to use the following function of the REST API in VmWare Workstation 16:

/vms/{id}/configparams  update the vm config params

the CURL command is:

curl 'https://localhost:8697/api/vms/78BC37CO4B5GCTSVHKPVEIHGQ4DBQK1K/configparams' -X PUT --header 'Content-Type: application/vnd.vmware.vmw.rest-v1+json' --header 'Accept: text/plain' --header 'Authorization: Basic XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX=' -d @- <<REQUEST_BODY 
{
  "name": "displayName",
  "value": "test"
}
REQUEST_BODY

and the response is:

404 page not found

In the other hand when I try the following function

/vms/{id}  Updates the VM settings

the CURL command is:

curl 'https://localhost:8697/api/vms/78BC37CO4B5GCTSVHKPVEIHGQ4DBQK1K' -X PUT --header 'Content-Type: application/vnd.vmware.vmw.rest-v1+json' --header 'Accept: application/vnd.vmware.vmw.rest-v1+json' --header 'Authorization: Basic XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX=' -d @- <<REQUEST_BODY 
{
  "processors": 2,
  "memory": 1024
}
REQUEST_BODY

and the response is:

{
  "id": "78BC37CO4B5GCTSVHKPVEIHGQ4DBQK1K",
  "cpu": {
    "processors": 2
  },
  "memory": 1024
}

As you can see, the first function is not working correctly, while the second yes.

It seems that the REST API is not responding correctly to the second URL, please could someone help me?

Thanks in advance, regards
