Hi, Details at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-7651 - in trunk a POST to / with admin credentials resolves to a RedirectResource (which inherits from SyntheticResource), causing a change of behavior when trying to set properties on the root: nodes are created instead of setting properties.
That doesn't happen if the POST is made with an extension such as /.json With sling10 both GET and POST to / as admin resolve to a JcrNodeResource. Before I spend too much time cajoling my debugger, does anyone have a clue what has changed? -Bertrand
