Hello,
if you make a chain request, you need to use
GET_CONTRACT_UID_LIST or listen to your callback
or cylce trough events to grap incoming contract specs.

if you do not make a chain request, you don't need
GET_CONTRACT_UID_LIST.

your request was a chain request, as expiry was not
fully qualified (YYYYMM instead of YYYYMMDD)
and multiplier was missed.

pass 20091218 for expiry and 50 for mulitplier please and you'll
get an uid returned.


GET_CONTRACT_UID_LIST does not fail, if you pass an empty
string for expiry.
(however, as 200912 is contained in 20091218, GET_CONTRACT_UID_LIST
should have returned the uid. this will be fixed next version)
