Thanks very much, putting the datastream content directly in the POSTed messaged worked. You're correct, you should use the appropriate Content-Type header override. To include an external file in the POST, you can use '@' to prepend the file's path, as illustrated below:
curl -H "Content-Type: application/x-zip-compressed" --data-binary @test.zip http://localhost:8080/fedora/objects/marktest:1/datastreams/testmanagedzip?controlGroup=M Mark ----- Original Message ----- > If I'm not mistaken you should be posting the XML directly (using the > cURL flag "--data-binary") to: > > http://localhost:8080/fedora/objects/marktest:1/datastreams/testmanagednewxml?controlGroup=M&dsLabel=NewManagedDatastream > > and you can abandon the "-T" flag entirely. You want the datastream > contents -in- the POST message, not as an upload file, and the query > string as part of your URL.
