[basex-talk] Status of multipart

19 Jun 2014

      Hello all,
I would like to know what the status of multipart HTTP request currently 
is.
I read from the docs that it's experimental but to me it feels like 
there's currently a regression (is there any working example?).
I have some requests that were working correctly up to 7.6.1 AFAIR.
 From 7.8 on (including latest) I always get this error message when 
posting multipart requests:

<html>
     <head>
         <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; 
charset=ISO-8859-1"/>
         <title>Error 400 Stopped at .../restxq.xqm, 106/10:
[experr:HC0004] Invalid request element: No body specified for 
http:part.</title>
     </head>
     <body>
         <h2>HTTP ERROR 400</h2>
         <p>Problem accessing /multipart. Reason:

             <pre>    Stopped at 
/home/lettere/Desktop/basex80/webapp/restxq.xqm, 106/10:
[experr:HC0004] Invalid request element: No body specified for 
http:part.</pre>
         </p>
         <hr />

         </i>
         <br/>
        [...]
         <br/>
     </body>
</html>

This is the entry point:

declare %restxq:path("multipart/")
         %restxq:POST("{$message}")
         %restxq:consumes("multipart/form-data")
         %output:method('xml')
function page:hello2($message) {
   <response>
     <title>Hello!</title>
content    <info>It seems you posted a message: { $message }</info>
   </response>
};

and finally this is the HTTP request:

POST /multipart HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:9000

Content-Length: 162
Cache-Control: no-cache

Thanks a lot,
Marco.
