REST service problems - 401-Header sent‏
by MyNew EMail 02 Jul '12

02 Jul '12

Hi again, > What do you exactly mean with "long XQuery request"? Could you provide > us with an example that demonstrates the problem (I didn't manage to > track it down locally)?I'm using PHP with cURL to call the REST service (with standard username and password [admin, admin] for testing). Furthermore I'm using the BaseX HTTP Server (basexhttp.bat).Here is some code summary (first example works well): <?php//... $query = 'let $x := <abc> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> </abc> return insert node $x as last into //test'; $fullQuery = '<query xmlns="http://basex.org/rest">'; $fullQuery .= '<text><![CDATA[ '.$query.']]></text>'; $fullQuery .= '</query>';//...//set authorization stuff//set Content-Type header to application/xml and send a POST request to http://localhost:8984/rest/MyDb/test.xml with $fullQuery in body.//This works. Example XML will be inserted.?> But if the XML part (let $x := ...) or the XQuery part is longer I get this response (and I'm authorized the same way as in the first example): HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized WWW-Authenticate: BasicContent-Length: 31 Server: Jetty(6.1.26) This example does'nt work:<?php $query = 'let $x := <abc> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <aaa>Test</aaa> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> <bb test="123"><a>test</a></bb> </abc> return insert node $x as last into //test'; $fullQuery = '<query xmlns="http://basex.org/rest">'; $fullQuery .= '<text><![CDATA[ '.$query.']]></text>'; $fullQuery .= '</query>'; //...?> Removing whitespaces makes it possible to send a request which is a bit longer, but not very much. Is there a solution to send requests like this, maybe in a different way? It is important to make bigger updates on my XML data with REST. Greetings @all

Sending DELETE request through HTTP Module
by Seenivasan Gunabalan 02 Jul '12

02 Jul '12

hi, My objective is to delete the collections/files through the DELETE request using HTTP module. The DELETE operation does fine, when I ran it from BasexGUI. But if i put the same query inside delete.xq and invoke it by http://localhost:8984/rest?run=delete.xq, The request never returns any response and possibly got hanged. I need to restart the database to make the database to function. I am enclosing the xq i used, import module namespace http='http://expath.org/ns/http-client'; declare function local:cleanlist() { ('sample/record1','sample/record2','sample/record3') }; declare function local:cleandb() { try { for $cl in local:cleanlist() return http:send-request(<http:request method="DELETE" href="http://localhost:8984/rest/{$cl}" status-only = "true" username = "admin" password = "admin" send-authorization="true"> </http:request>) } catch err { err:description } }; <cleandb>{ local:cleandb() }</cleandb>

normalize-unicode function
by Toshio HIRAI 02 Jul '12

02 Jul '12

Hi, I tried some Japanese letters in fn:normalize-unicode. FULLWIDTH DIGIT, FULLWIDTH LATIN CAPITAL LETTER: fn:normalize-unicode("１２３４５６７８９０ａｂｃｄｅｆｇ", "NFKC") returns 1234567890abcdefg FULLWIDTH EXCLAMATION MARK: fn:normalize-unicode("！", "NFKC") returns ! FULLWIDTH LESS-THAN SIGN, ?FULLWIDTH GREATER-THAN SIGN: fn:normalize-unicode("＜＞", "NFKC") returns <> FULLWIDTH AMPERSAND; fn:normalize-unicode("＆", "NFKC") returns?& These are normal. but, FULLWIDTH QUOTATION MARK, FULLWIDTH APOSTROPHE: fn:normalize-unicode("”’", "NFKC") returns ”’ In this case, I think that "' should be returned. Best regards, Toshio HIRAI

REST service problems - 401-Header sent
by MyNew EMail 01 Jul '12

01 Jul '12

Hi, I am using the REST service of BaseX. I'm using POST with the following body to send requests (XPath/XQuery): <query xmlns="http://basex.org/rest"> <text><![CDATA[ (//city/name)[position() <= 5] ]]></text></query> (it's the example from the documentation) Most of the time it works well, but when the XQuery request is to long I get a 401 status code (not authenticated) while I am authenticated. Is there any solution for this problem? Thanks @all
