Hi, I can't find where I would access the other entries returned by a file upload. What gets sent is -----------------------------175432198730168 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="base.png" Content-Type: image/png ‰PNG as base64... ---------------------------- The file is in the $file map but how can I get the Content-Type for example? %rest:POST("{$post}") %rest:form-param("file", "{$file}") Regards, Max

using rest api to move a file
by Adil Hasan 22 Sep '16

22 Sep '16

Hello, I hope you can help me I'm going a bit mad with this (I had it working before, but don't have the notes of what I did). I have in a database an xml file: http://localhost:8484/rest/test/test1.xml I would like to move the xml file to a different database: http://localhost:8984/rest/test-moved I tried the following: curl -utest:test -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/xml;charset=UTF-8" -d '@/home/hasan/move.xml' -i "http://localhost:8984/rest/test" where my move.xml has: <command xmlns="http://basex.org/rest"> <text> rename test1.xml test-moved/test1.xml </text> </command> The command returns a 200, but nothing has moved. I am clearly doing something wrong. If I change the URL in the cURL request to "http://localhost:8984/rest" I get a java null pointer exception. Do you know they syntax I should use for the REST API to move a file? many thanks, adil

Re: [basex-talk] Accessing file within repository or package

Whoops. Never mind. It works to use a path relative to the xquery file: doc(‘hella.xsl’). That was not working earlier, presumably because of some unrelated problem.

'Path "/{$id}" assigned to several functions:' error with content negotiation in a browser
by Steve Baskauf 22 Sep '16

22 Sep '16

I am attempting to set up content negotiation for HTTP requests for various serializations of RDF. I have set up a restxq module file to control the API, started the server, and performed GET requests the the localhost with Accept: headers for the various Content-Types that the restxq file is designed to handle. You can see a simplified version of the file at https://gist.github.com/baskaufs/00f471b905ae9b862677fedf9f047bcb . Everything works according to expectations when I request a single content type using cURL, Chrome Advanced REST Client, etc. However, when I use a browser, I get the error 400 Stopped at C:/Program Files (x86)/BaseX/webapp/restxq.xqm, 6/12: [bxerr:BASX0003] Path "/{$id}" assigned to several functions: C:/Program Files (x86)/BaseX/webapp/restxq.xqm, 6/12 C:/Program Files (x86)/BaseX/webapp/restxq.xqm, 20/12 C:/Program Files (x86)/BaseX/webapp/restxq.xqm, 34/12 C:/Program Files (x86)/BaseX/webapp/restxq.xqm, 48/12 I checked the Accept: request header sent by Chrome and it is 1. Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8 So I tried sending a GET using Advanced Rest Client and the same Accept: header. That produced the same error. I experimented with changing the Accept header and the problem seems to be caused by the "*/*" wildcard in the Accept: header. Any combination I use without */* works, but any combination including it fails. According to what I've read at http://docs.basex.org/wiki/RESTXQ#Content_Negotiation and http://exquery.github.io/exquery/exquery-restxq-specification/restxq-1.0-sp… (section 5.2.3), the more specific media type should be used to process the request, so it doesn't seem like there should be a problem with the client specifying multiple content types, including */*. Any advice you can offer would be appreciated. I'm running BaseX 8.5.3 on a 64 bit Windows 10 system. Steve Baskauf -- Steven J.

XML files are not indented anymore with DTD = true and CATFILE
by Maximilian Gärber 22 Sep '16

22 Sep '16

Hi, I just noticed that when using a config with following settings: # Local Options DTD = true CATFILE = C:\Program Files\Oxygen XML Editor 18\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\catalog-dita.xml CHOP = false Then all output (e.g. in the DBA) will not be indented anymore. Bug? Or am I missing another Option? Best, Max

replace expression
by Joseph 16 Sep '16

16 Sep '16

I am trying to substitute the content of an element with its content in a document, using copy $e := doc("document") modify ( for $x in $e//C return replace node $x with $x/text() ) return $e Although this seems to be a plain query, it never ends when launched, so that I am forced to quit BaseX. Any suggestions? Thanks! PS: my document contains a lot of the elements I want to change. I do not know whether there si an "easy" alternative to "copy"/"replace" Best, Joseph

Try/catch
by meumapple 15 Sep '16

15 Sep '16

Hi, I have been working with a collection of XML files, trying to make changes using the copy clause. It may happen that sometimes I get an error message because of one of the files I am trying to change. My question is whether there is a way to know which file and at which line/column the error occurs. I have tried try/catch but it seems not to be designed for this (or am I missing something here?). Thanks! Best, Joseph
