BaseX 8.6.6
by Christian Grün 24 Aug '17

24 Aug '17

Hi there, BaseX 8.6.6 is out. Among other things, we fixed two bugs in the map:merge function and where clauses with predicates, so we recommend you to update to the latest version if you work with BaseX 8.6.x. Apart from that, binary data handling was tweaked a lot: The Binary and Conversion Modules will now be much faster if you iterate over single bytes. Have fun everyone, Christian PS: I’ll be offline most of the time until Sep 15. Thanks everyone for keeping the mailing list alive!

RESTXQ custom response
by Tim Thompson 22 Aug '17

22 Aug '17

Hello, Is it possible to overwrite default HTTP headers in RESTXQ? I am running BaseX in Tomcat 7 and have set the authmethod param set to "Custom." I wanted to define my own WWW-Authenticate header for Digest authentication. I tried something like this: <http:header name="WWW-Authenticate" value="{ ``[Digest realm="BaseX", qop="auth, auth-int", algorithm=MD5, nonce=`{hash:md5(random:uuid())}`]`` }"/> (in a custom response, as specified in http://docs.basex.org/wiki/RESTXQ#Custom_Response). However, the WWW-Authenticate header only returns a value of Custom realm="BaseX" no matter what I do in the custom RESTXQ response. Thanks in advance, Tim -- Tim A.

Re: [basex-talk] The BaseX REPLACE command and archives
by Christian Grün 22 Aug '17

I have remastered the way how paths of command calls are parsed: Relative path segments (".", "..") will now be correctly resolved as well. I hope you can now specify '/' as replacement path [1].

...even better! Can you specify '/' as path? Am 22.08.2017 4:02 nachm. schrieb "Britney Fox" <britfox42(a)hotmail.com>: Hi, REPLACE command already works correctly with .tar.gz :) It just add a path at the start of the database tree. This for example: REPLACE path "/Users/DB/file.tar.gz" Add path for every directories found in the archive to the database... if path could be the database root or optional it would be perfect :)

The BaseX REPLACE command and archives
by Britney Fox 22 Aug '17

22 Aug '17

Hi, I would like to use BaseX for a database and the daily updates are .tar.gz files which inlude .xml inside directories. Of course, the directories need to match the ones inside the database. Unfortunately, the BaseX REPLACE command absolutly need a path so it makes the update fail since the path is added. So, is there a solution using BaseX ? Thanks.

bug in XPath evaluation
by nikos dimitrakas 22 Aug '17

22 Aug '17

Hi! I discovered a strange behavior i BaseX (8.6.5): I evaluate //S/@k/parent::* or //S/@k/.. and it works I evaluate //S[.//@m="V"] and it works But when I evaluate //S/@k/parent::*[.//@m="V"] or //S/@k/..[.//@m="V"] it does not work. There is no error, just no result. At first I thought that there was an error with going to a parent of an attribute node, but that works. Then I thought the problem was with ".//@" in the predicate, but that also works. It appears that it is the combination that confuses the engine. Here is an xml to test the above expressions: <Root> <S k="AAA"> </S> <S k="AA"> </S> <S k="D"> </S> <S k="C"> </S> <S k="AAA"> </S> <S k="AA"> </S> <S k="C"> </S> <S k="AAA"> </S> <S k="AA"> </S> </Root> I hope you can find the problem and fix it in a new version soon. Regards /nikos

RESTXQ %input:csv annotation
by Kendall Shaw 21 Aug '17

21 Aug '17

The example produces an error saying it can’t convert string to document node: declare %rest:path("/store.csv") %rest:POST("{$csv}") %input:csv("header=true,encoding=CP1252") function page:store-csv($csv as document-node()) { "Number of rows: " || count($csv/csv/record) }; I can just change the function signature and parse the string with csv:parse, but is the example missing a detail (or am I missing a detail)? I used this to store CSV data in the default format. curl –XPOST –H’Content-Type: text/csv’ –data @some.csv http://example.com/basex/store.csv Kendall

Keep the comments when parsing HTML?
by Graydon Saunders 21 Aug '17

21 Aug '17

Hello -- So I have a pile of near-XML HTML with semantically significant comments to deal with. (I must have been sinning much more than I realized!) Using BaseX866-20170818.124137, BaseX will parse the content but all the comments go away. This is with passing the "lexical" option on the parser tab where it asks for TagSoup options, which I understand from https://github.com/orbeon/tagsoup/blob/master/trunk/README to pass through comments (and DOCTYPE declarations). How do I parse HTML and keep the comments? Thanks! Graydon

%input:csv annotation
by Kendall Shaw 21 Aug '17

Trying to use the example, in the RESTXQ section of the documentation: declare %rest:path("/store.csv") %rest:POST("{$csv}") %input:csv("header=true,encoding=CP1252") function page:store-csv($csv as document-node()) { "Number of rows: " || count($csv/csv/record) }; Using: curl -i -XPOST –data @test.csv<mailto:data@test.csv> -H’Content-Type: text/csv’ http://blah/basex/store.csv The result is [XPTY0004] Cannot cast xs:string to document-node() I can just invoke csv:parse but, is the example missing a detail?
