Re: [Exist-open] Has anyone tried binary puts?

[Palmer, E. <ep...@ri...>]

We have done binary puts with the apache httpcore and httpclient libraries into exist. You have to specify the mime-type in header. I don't know about the exist httpclient function but check to see if you can specify a mime-type.

Subject: [Exist-open] Has anyone tried binary puts?

Hello eXistians,

This is my first posting to the list.  I am trying to use both the httpclient:put and the expath http:send-request to do an http PUT of a binary file into a remote site.  The httpclient:put requires a node() type for it's content so it appears this interface was not designed to put binary files.  The expath http:send-request generates serialization errors if I enclose a base64binary type in the body.  Note that the expath documentation implies that binary files are supported.  See the documents at link below.

http://expath.org/spec/http-client

I'm using the trunk eXist build.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ann
