I thought I'd bump this because I need this feature as well and have had no
luck implementing it myself using the REST API. Can anyone point me to an
example of how to upload, say, a PDF file I have on a local machine to
Mayan EDMS using a POST to the appropriate REST API call?
Not to sound flamey, but it's odd this feature disappeared. It seems like a
basic feature many users would need when first setting up a document
repository? Or is Mayan targeted at relatively small sets of documents, on
the order of tens of documents (vs hundreds or thousands)?
