POST to a URL which does not exist
POST-ing to a URL which does not exist will now create the destination as a ghost node, and create a child node inside of it. In Fedora 5, doing so would result in a 404 response.
Fedora 6 behavior
curl -XPOST http://localhost:8080/rest/doesnotexist/ HTTP/1.1 201 Created Location: http://localhost:8080/rest/doesnotexist/f6149604-7bdd-41a1-8a06-7a8bd4b071c6
Fedora 5 behavior
curl -XPOST http://localhost:8080/rest/doesnotexist/ HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Memento Changes
- Mementos can no longer be created by specifying a timestamp, and are always created on the current resource state at the current time.
- A memento can only be created if a resource has changed since the most recent memento was created. If the resource has not changed, the create memento request will return a
409-Conflict. - Binaries and their descriptions are versioned independently. That is to say, creating a memento on a binary does not create a memento on its binary description, and vice versa.
