I see now. I need to use the -u for the user name. I'm new to curl, but getting the idea now.

I tried doing the servicedocument request which works fine in the browser, but got this error. It seems like something is not setup?

THerefore you can't interact with that page by requesting it n a browser. To prepare the data you'll need to create suitable packages. The following blog post explains how this is achieved in PHP for the Facebook SWORD client: - http://blog.stuartlewis.com/2009/06/02/how-does-the-facebook-sword-client-actually-work/ If you want to try POSTing some files to DSpace, there are some good examples in: - http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/dspace/tags/dspace-1.6.0/dspace-sword/README.txt Curl is a good tool for testing, e.g.: Authorised by dspace/dspace on a Collection: curl -i --data-binary "@dspace-sword/example/example.zip" -H "Content-Disposition: filename=myDSpaceMETSItem.zip" -H "Content-Type: application/zip" -H "X-Packaging: http://purl.org/net/sword-types/METSDSpaceSIP"; -H "X-No-Op: false" -H "X-Verbose: true" http://dspace:dsp...@localhost:8080/sword/deposit/123456789/2 I hope that helps, Stuart Lewis IT Innovations Analyst and Developer Te Tumu Herenga The University of Auckland Library Auckland Mail Centre, Private Bag 92019, Auckland 1142, New Zealand Ph: +64 (0)9 373 7599 x81928 On 29/05/2010, at 6:53 AM, Blanco, Jose wrote: > Stuart: > > I was able to get pass the auth.
