Hi all,
I also agree that the current behavior should be adjusted. There is an existing bug report for this: « Empty entity on PUT » http://restlet.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=803 Best regards, Jerome Louvel -- Restlet ~ Founder and Lead developer ~ <http://www.restlet.org/> http://www.restlet.org Noelios Technologies ~ Co-founder ~ <http://www.noelios.com/> http://www.noelios.com De : Rob Heittman [mailto:[email protected]] Envoyé : mardi 25 août 2009 18:58 À : [email protected] Objet : Re: Upload a zero byte file I re-read the thread and I thought the only conclusion was that the spec is inconclusive :-) It would probably be better for Restlet just to warn instead of error here. Other frameworks also refuse a no-entity PUT (sorry -- no current list, but empirical past evidence) but I don't see a concrete reason that Restlet should be the enforcer of this particular interpretation. Unless there is a technical reason why supporting a no-entity PUT is a challenge. - R On Tue, Aug 25, 2009 at 12:40 PM, Brian Demers <[email protected]> wrote: I have a web app that accepts uploaded files. We are using Restlet 1.1.3. If I try to upload a file with 0 bytes I get an error message: "Missing request entity" http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg03579.html I don't agree with the conclusion here. Uploading a 0 byte file should be acceptable, and in some cases needed for applications. When thinking about a PUT containing a message (json, xml, ect) then a PUT should not be empty, I could agree with that. In the case of file upload, it represents the entity being empty, not missing. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Upload-a-zero-byte-file-tp3511268p3511268.html Sent from the Restlet Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447 <http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=2387 222> &dsMessageId=2387222 ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=2388197
