Thank you - exactly what I was after. The only variation I needed (perhaps because I was working in Windows at the time?) was for the add/update script where I needed to enclose the final URL from $FEDORA_WEBROOT to $FILE_MIMETYPE in "double quote marks". Thanks again for rescuing me from confusion. - - - - - # Richard Higgins # Durham University Library # Archives & Special Collections # Palace Green # Durham # DH1 3RN # E-Mail: [email protected]

Here’s what I use to add and delete datastreams from the command line, using the REST API on Fedora 3.2.1: To delete a datastream: curl -u $FEDORA_USER:$FEDORA_PASS -X DELETE $FEDORA_WEBROOT/objects/$PID/datastreams/$DS To add/update a datastream: curl -F fi...@$filename -u $FEDORA_USER:$FEDORA_PASS $FEDORA_WEBROOT/objects/$PID/datastreams/$DS?controlGroup=M&checksumType=MD5&mimeType=$FILE_MIMETYPE Fill in variables appropriate to your environment and what you want to edit, of course. FEDORA_WEBROOT for my test installation is http://localhost:8080/fedora .
