[basex-talk] changes in BaseX-10.0 w.r.t. http:send-request() / fetch:doc() functions?

[Ron Van den Branden]

Hi,

After upgrading BaseX to 10.0 (yay!), I notice how http:send-request() 
calls that used to work in 9.7 are now failing. I didn't find any 
changes documented between version 9.7 and 10.0 at 
https://docs.basex.org/wiki/HTTP_Client_Module. Yet (tested with the 
same JDK), I'm observing differences between BaseX-9.7 and BaseX-10.0.

Test case:

  let $uri := 'http://vocab.getty.edu/aat/300027473.rdf'
  returnhttp:send-request(<http:request  method="get" status-only="true" 
href="{$uri}"/>)

Result:

 * BaseX-9.7: valid response

   <http:response  xmlns:http="http://expath.org/ns/http-client";  status="200" 
message="OK">
      <http:header  name="Server" value="Apache-Coyote/1.1"/>
      <http:header  name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment; 
filename=&quot;aat_300027473.rdf&quot;"/>
      <http:header  name="Set-Cookie" 
value="BIGipServerForest=!VhOKP5OjryEOuPhyk3Vb4l5ey77Ecb9C7h36RwDl7h0P+12yggqrxtSz6mEpwv8Du1qdIeJTRfFkqw==;
 path=/; Httponly"/>
      <http:header  name="Content-Length" value="55888"/>
      <http:header  name="Date" value="Thu, 04 Aug 2022 14:32:02 GMT"/>
      <http:header  name="Content-Type" 
value="application/rdf+xml;charset=UTF-8"/>
      <http:body  media-type="application/rdf+xml"/>
   </http:response>

 * BaseX-10.0: "Bad Request" error

   <http:response  xmlns:http="http://expath.org/ns/http-client";  status="400" 
message="Bad Request">
      <http:header  name="connection" value="close"/>
      <http:header  name="content-length" value="968"/>
      <http:header  name="content-type" value="text/html;charset=utf-8"/>
      <http:header  name="date" value="Thu, 04 Aug 2022 14:31:56 GMT"/>
      <http:header  name="server" value="Apache-Coyote/1.1"/>
      <http:header  name="set-cookie" 
value="BIGipServerForest=!mBtphfxjdsqnz+Vyk3Vb4l5ey77EcVUpOTC6kqayu7tj3BpCNxN68oQTs+W4wrEO4+vQ2pECmIF6rA==;
 path=/; Httponly"/>
      <http:body  media-type="text/html"/>
   </http:response>

The same results are obtained with fetch:xml() (BaseX-9.7 - valid 
response) and fetch:doc() (BaseX-10.0 - bad request).

Apologies if I'm overlooking the obvious, but has anything changed 
w.r.t. these http / fetch module functions or their underlying methods 
of network access that would require changes in my XQuery code or 
BaseX-10.0 configuration?

Best,

Ron
