You need to use a POST and not a GET. I used Postman. After setting Basic Auth header with your bot username and API key, then Content-type header to "application/json", I changed the body type to "raw" and just entered in the json data I wanted my config to be:

{
  "webhook": [your webhook url here],
  "features": {
    "receiveReadReceipts": false,
    "receiveIsTyping": false,
    "manuallySendReadReceipts": false,
    "receiveDeliveryReceipts": false
  }
}

When I sent the request, the response had my config data returned in the response. This also worked when I needed to change one of the config parameters. Hope this helps.
