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.
- Mementos cannot be deleted.
Conditional PUT using If-Match Changes
- Etags are calculated differently, and can no longer be relied upon for use with the If-Match header for PUT requests.
- To perform a conditional PUT that works for both Fedora 5 and 6, use X-State-Token with X-If-State-Token instead.
