Nihal Jain created HBASE-20715:
----------------------------------
Summary: REST curl command for create namespace with
"Content-Type: text/xml" specified (mistakenly) results in a 400 Bad Request
Key: HBASE-20715
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20715
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Task
Components: documentation, REST
Reporter: Nihal Jain
I have a habit of setting "Content-Type: text/xml" for curl commands. Today, I
had a bad time debugging the 400 error for below command. Finally, this
discussion helped me in resolving the problem.
As pointed out by [~mwarhaftig] and [~misty] in their discussion in
HBASE-14147, a curl request of the following form will throw a {{400 BAD
REQUEST}}
{code:java}
curl -vi -X POST -H "Accept: text/xml" -H "Content-Type: text/xml"
"http://my_server:20550/namespaces/new_ns2/";
{code}
I think we should document this in the description for "Create a new namespace"
explicitly mentioning that users should take care "Content-Type" is not set for
this particular command.
