Re: [basex-talk] Upgrading BaseX by several major versions

Thanks for pointing this out, Nico. This one should have been documented indeed, or changed with the next major release.

Dear Rémy,

A particular change in BaseX 11.4 that took me a while to find, is a change in http:send-request. So this is only relevant if you use that function. If you send a JSON body, previously you had to serialize it, like:

   http:send-request(
     <http:request method='put'>
       <http:body media-type='application/json'/>
     </http:request>,
     $url,
     serialize($body-map, map{'method':'json'})
   )

This has changed, and the right way to call this is now:

   http:send-request(
     <http:request method='put'>
       <http:body media-type='application/json'/>
     </http:request>,
     $url,
     $body-map
   )

If you use http:send-request, I hope this will save you a bit of time.

Best regards, Nico Verwer
