[Application Insights] Fail to create new application using REST API

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to create new application in Application Insights using the REST API.
I followed the instructions on
this page, but keep getting '404 Not Found', with the following error stream:
"{"error":{"code":"InvalidResourceType","message":"The resource type could not be found in the namespace 'microsoft.insights' for api version '2014-04-01'."}}"
The http method I'm using is: PUT
The request URI is:
"https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/some_real_subscription_id/resourceGroups/yonisha-new-rg/providers/microsoft.insights/component/yonisha-new-app?api-version=2014-04-01".
Can you please advice what am I doing wrong?
Few things:
I tried both with existing/non-existing resource group.
I set the Content-Length header to '0' (otherwise the server returns an error the the length is required).

Try the API Version "2014-08-01" and also make sure you are sending a location of "Central US" (its the only location available right now).  An example of a PowerShell call that works is below.  I would also suggest checking
out the new https://resources.azure.com/ which can help you construct the REST call.
New-AzureResource -Name TestAppInsights -ResourceGroupName TestRG -ResourceType "Microsoft.Insights/Components" -Location "Central US" -ApiVersion "2014-08-01"
