Dear Roland, This sounds like a JavaScript issue, so I can’t help too much, but maybe thing work out if you specify login and passwort directly in the URL? xhr.open( "PUT", "http://admin:admin@localhost:8984/rest/XMLfiles/test.xml", true); Cheers, Christian On Mon, Jul 10, 2017 at 3:16 PM, Roland Krause <roland.krause@globalfoundries.com> wrote:

Hi all,

I installed basex for keeping and updating XML files.

I can load a XML into a browser with javascript ... var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); xhr.open( "GET", "http://localhost:8984/rest/XMLfiles/cmuInput.xml", true); xhr.send(); var xml = xhr.responseXML; ...

but if I try to PUT something, it will not work. ... var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); xhr.open( "PUT", "http://localhost:8984/rest/XMLfiles/test.xml", true); xhr.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + btoa("admin:admin")); xhr.send("<ALLES>hat ein Ende, nur die Wurst hat zwei</ALLES>"); ...

[HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request 6ms]

BUT it works with curl

echo "<ALLES>hat ein Ende, nur die Wurst hat zwei</ALLES>" | curl -u admin:admin -i -X PUT -T - "http:// localhost :8984/rest/XMLfiles/ test .xml"

HTTP/1.1 201 Created Content-Type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8 Content-Length: 36 Server: Jetty(8.1.18.v20150929) 1 resource(s) replaced in 32.91 ms.

I need help here!
