Hi Jean-Marc,

For the time being, I’m sorry multipart support is only available for requests (multipart/mixed [1], multipart/form-data [2]). Responses are limited to single parts (multipart data has not been considered in the RESTXQ specification).

I have added a clarifying comment to our documentation.

Best, Christian

Hello,

I'm trying to do a custom multipart response with basex RESTXQ module.

The Custom Response paragraph of https://docs.basex.org/wiki/RESTXQ indicates :

Custom responses can be generated in XQuery by returning an |rest:response| element, an |http:response| child node that matches the syntax of the EXPath HTTP Client Module http://expath.org/spec/http-client specification, and optional child nodes that will be serialized as usual.

So, the §4.1 of http://expath.org/spec/http-client (EXPath HTTP Client Module http://expath.org/spec/http-client) indicates :

<http:response status = integer message = string> (http:header*, (http:multipart | http:body)?) </http:response>

But when I try :

declare %rest:path('media4') function page:testjm4() { rest:response <http:response status="200" message="OK"> <http:header name="Content-Length" value="100"/> <http:body media-type="text"> TEST </http:body> </http:response> </rest:response>};

The answer is irremediably :

Stopped at /root/basex/webapp/test.xqm, 46/39: [basex:restxq] Unexpected node: <http:body xmlns:http=" http://expath.org/ns/http-client" media-type="text">&#xA;TEST &#xA;</http:body>

Neither hhtp:body or http:multipart element can be placed as a child of http:response, that seems contradictory with the expath.org spec...

Any help would be appreciated...

Thanks o lot!

JM
