New drop does not get added to specified rivers

[Dan King]

A new drop does not get submitted to specified rivers.

Suppose there exists Rivers with IDs of 1 and 15, and a Bucket of ID 252.

The following parameters in the POST request will add the newly created drop to bucket 262, but not to rivers 1 or 15

// List of IDs of the destination rivers
'rivers' => array(1,15),

// List of IDs of the destination buckets
'buckets' => array(274)

The channel_ids parameter must be specified. This is because we track where each drop came from i.e. a specific blog, twitter search term etc

We definitely have to revise some of the terminology to avoid confusion. E.g change channel to channel_type

Thoughts?

Channel_ids was specified. Here is the complete request:

$create_drops = array(array(

    // URL to the avatar at the source channel
