I'm not even sure how you came up with the idea of wedging bits of code in the wrong language into Confluence is a good idea.

If you want to add new APIs to Confluence, you should write the end points in Java in an App you add to Confluence.

If you want to use the APIs in Confluence, you can use php (or other languages), but do not put your code inside the Confluence installation, that can break all sorts of things.

The content call you are using expects to be a get, not a post, that's why you get a 404.
