How to reproduce the issue?

While testing the R implementations of OSM API (osmapiR) I get a server error:

library(osmapiR)
gpx_path <- system.file("extdata", "St_Geroni.gpx", package = "osmapiR")
gpx_id <- osm_create_gpx(
  file = gpx_path,
  description = "Test create gpx with osmapiR.",
  tags = c("testing", "osmapiR")
)

gpx_upd_path <- system.file("extdata", "St_Geroni_70nodes.gpx", package = "osmapiR")
upd_trace <- osm_update_gpx(gpx_id = gpx_id, file = gpx_upd_path)
#> ! HTTP 500 Internal Server Error.
#> • The server encountered an internal error or
#> misconfiguration and was unable to complete
#> your request.
#> • Please contact the server administrator at
#>  webmaster@openstreetmap.org to inform them of the time this error occurred,
#>  and the actions you performed just before this error.
#> • More information about this error may be available
#> in the server error log.

The problematic API call is the PUT https://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/gpx/:gpx_id
The body of the call is a gpx file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<gpx xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1/gpx.xsd" version="1.1" creator="togpx">

Screenshot(s) or anything else?

You can't PUT a GPX file like that - that endpoint is for updating metadata on an existing trace and it takes a an osm XML object not a gpx object.

If you want to upload a new trace you should POST to /api/0.6/gpx/create and there's no way to replace the trace data for an existing trace.

Thanks, @tomhughes. I misunderstood https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.6#Update:_PUT_/api/0.6/gpx/#id. Will try to update the wiki

It's basically the write version of the GET method at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.6#Download_Metadata:_GET_/api/0.6/gpx/#id/details.
