Re: [Dspace-tech] URL REST Call to return XML
Hi Peter, At first I thought the problem was only because DSpace is not returning XML. Then found out, no HTTP header was being passed when requesting the URL in the Drupal module. It looks like that want be our only problem. Thank you for the clarification, we are going to update the module to import data using REST. Thank you all for your help.

The Drupal Module is designed to use the 2011 Google Summer of Code REST API. The 2011 GSoC REST API was never merged into the core of DSpace, instead a Jersey based REST API was built. So, the Drupal Module would need to be updated to work with the new API.

Re: [Dspace-tech] URL REST Call to return XML
You need to set the Accept HTTP header to tell the REST API which format you want. From the command line you can do it like this: $ curl -s -H Accept: application/xml http://localhost:8080/rest/communities I'm not familiar with the DSpace module for Drupal though, so I'm not sure if it allows you to configure request headers...

Re: [Dspace-tech] URL REST Call to return XML
Hicham, Good Question... The only method i know that fix it is the one that Alan said. The request is made directly by URL or there is a middleware between your app and the browser?
