Hi Richard, (apologies for the long message)
I finally managed to POST bitstreams to an item that I previously created with an ATOM entry, using the Edit media IRI. Thanks for the help! However, there are a couple of things that don't work quite right: - when I create the entry with metadata only, the bundle ORIGINAL is create, and it is empty. When I POST a new file, a new ORIGINAL bundle is created, and the file copied into it, and this is repeated for every file I POST. Normally, all the bitstreams should go into the same ORIGINAL folder (the first one, which remains empty). This causes some problems in the visualisation of the item. - the MIME type and description of the file don't appear in the bitstream information, can they be sent somehow? For the MIME type, in fact, when I POST the file, I always have to specify "application/zip" in the headers for it to work (and not the real MIME type), I suppose because the bitstream in compressed when it is sent. - is there a way to POST to a license file the LICENSE or CCLICENSE bundles? I guess this would solve the ORIGINAL folder as well? I realise that all these problems might be solved by using a METSDSpaceSIP package instead, but I couldn't manage to ingest one, I keep getting Error 415: Unacceptable content. Here are the headers I am posting (to the Collection IRI): 'Content-Length': '33777', 'Content-Disposition': 'attachment; filename=example.zip', 'In-Progress': 'true', 'Content-MD5': '2b25f82ba67284461d4a481d7a06dd28', 'Packaging': 'http://purl.org/net/sword/package/METSDSpaceSIP', 'Content-Type': 'application/zip' and the error message from the server: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <sword:error href="http://purl.org/net/sword/error/ErrorContent" xmlns:sword="http://purl.org/net/sword/terms/"><atom:title xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"/><atom:updated xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">2012-03-26T14:43:03Z</atom:updated><atom:generator uri="http://www.dspace.org/ns/sword/2.0/" version="2.0" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">rdm.c...@gmail.com</atom:generator><sword:treatment>Processing failed</sword:treatment><atom:summary xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">Unacceptable content type in deposit request: application/zip</atom:summary><sword:verboseDescription>org.swordapp.server.SwordError: Unacceptable content type in deposit request: application/zip at org.dspace.sword2.DSpaceSwordAPI.isAcceptable(DSpaceSwordAPI.java:228) at org.dspace.sword2.CollectionDepositManagerDSpace.createNewFromBinary(CollectionDepositManagerDSpace.java:218) at org.dspace.sword2.CollectionDepositManagerDSpace.createNew(CollectionDepositManagerDSpace.java:112) at org.swordapp.server.CollectionAPI.post(CollectionAPI.java:158) at org.swordapp.server.servlets.CollectionServletDefault.doPost(CollectionServletDefault.java:48) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:637) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:717) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:290) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:206) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke(StandardWrapperValve.java:233) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve.invoke(StandardContextValve.java:191) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:127) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:102) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:109) at org.apache.catalina.valves.RequestDumperValve.invoke(RequestDumperValve.java:156) at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:291) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(Http11Processor.java:859) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.process(Http11Protocol.java:602) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint$Worker.run(JIoEndpoint.java:489) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:662) </sword:verboseDescription></sword:error> Is it correct to POST the package to the Collection, or should I first create an entry and then post the package to the IRI of the newly created entry?
