Could you please paste a complete code example? Otherwise, we first have to guess how your remaining code looks like.

Thanks in advance, Christian ___________________________

Hi again,

...

What do you exactly mean with "long XQuery request"? Could you provide us with an example that demonstrates the problem (I didn't manage to track it down locally)?

I'm using PHP with cURL to call the REST service (with standard username and password [admin, admin] for testing). Furthermore I'm using the BaseX HTTP Server (basexhttp.bat).

Here is some code summary (first example works well):

<?php //... $query = 'let $x := <abc> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> </abc> return insert node $x as last into //test'; $fullQuery = '<query xmlns="http://basex.org/rest">'; $fullQuery .= '<text><![CDATA[ '.$query.']]></text>'; $fullQuery .= '</query>'; //... //set authorization stuff //set Content-Type header to application/xml and send a POST request to http://localhost:8984/rest/MyDb/test.xml with $fullQuery in body. //This works. Example XML will be inserted. ?>

But if the XML part (let $x := ...) or the XQuery part is longer I get this response (and I'm authorized the same way as in the first example):

HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized

WWW-Authenticate: Basic Content-Length: 31 Server: Jetty(6.1.26)

This example does'nt work:

<?php $query = 'let $x := <abc> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> </abc> return insert node $x as last into //test'; $fullQuery = '<query xmlns="http://basex.org/rest">'; $fullQuery .= '<text><![CDATA[ '.$query.']]></text>'; $fullQuery .= '</query>'; //... ?>

Removing whitespaces makes it possible to send a request which is a bit longer, but not very much.

Is there a solution to send requests like this, maybe in a different way? It is important to make bigger updates on my XML data with REST.

Greetings @all
