Hi, As per the documentation [1], have you tried using HTTP Auth? Your application can be Java or it can even be a bash script using the cURL command, just to an HTTP PUT
Thanks, Eduard P.S.: The comments section [2] of the documentation doc also seem to have the information you seem to need. If they prove to be up to date, it would be a good idea to include them in the documentation itself, maybe in the examples sections, what do you think? ---------- [1] http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/XWikiRESTfulAPI#HAuthentication [2] http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/XWikiRESTfulAPI#Comments On Mon, Dec 21, 2015 at 9:40 PM, Bryn Jeffries <bryn.jeffr...@sydney.edu.au> wrote: > Hello, > > I need to write a small Java utility to interact with my XWiki server - > it's main purpose is to take a file containing paths to various files, and > then upload (POST) them to the server.
