When sending a file to the server which is not supposed to stay there (just some data gets extracted) which is the appropriate request: POST or PUT? |
| 13:53 |
|
* pdurbin |
votes for POST |
| 13:54 |
|
siwica |
pdurbin: and what is the canonical way to send file content (textual) via a POST request? just an arbitrary key-value par with value being the file content? |
| 13:54 |
|
siwica |
*pair |
| 13:55 |
|
pdurbin |
multipart, I would think |
| 13:57 |
|
trygvis |
there is no canonical way to do that |
| 13:57 |
|
pdurbin |
"Content-Type should be set to multipart/form-data" https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/post/statuses/update_with_media |
| 13:58 |
|
trygvis |
twitter is a classic RPC API, not anywhere near REST |
| 13:59 |
|
pdurbin |
siwica: are you going for REST or "whatever works"? :) |
| 13:59 |
|
siwica |
pdurbin: not sure yet :) |
| 14:00 |
|
trygvis |
do you want to send a set of key/value pairs plus the file itself? |
| 14:00 |
|
* pdurbin |
wonders if there's a #restful or #whateverworks channel |
| 14:00 |
|
siwica |
pdurbin: I want to pass a file to the server, the server extracts multiple entities from it and privides GET access to each of those |
| 14:00 |
|
siwica |
The file is XML |
| 14:00 |
|
siwica |
And I only want to send the file itself |
| 14:01 |
|
trygvis |
then POST the file to your service |
| 14:02 |
|
trygvis |
PUT is expected to be a complete representation of the resource you're replacing, while POST has no such ideas |
| 14:03 |
|
siwica |
trygvis: Ok, I see |
| 14:05 |
|
siwica |
pdurbin: What does "multipart/form-data" do, if I am only sending a single file with nothing else? |
| 14:10 |
|
trygvis |
it enabled you to send more than one file in a single container, usually it's used to send two files, one which contains instructions and one that is the 'main' payload |
| 14:10 |
|
trygvis |
enables |
| 14:10 |
|
trygvis |
and saying 'usually' is probably not right, but it can be used to do that at least |
| 14:19 |
|
siwica |
Ok, I see |

trygvis: no canonical way? REST doesn't specify a way? |
| 15:40 |
|
mamund |
pdurbin: "REST doesn't specify a way?" -- that's correct. |
| 15:41 |
|
mamund |
REST is not a protocol, it's a style like impressionism or swedish modern, etc. |
| 15:41 |
|
mamund |
HTTP is a protocol and has several specifications. |
| 15:42 |
|
pdurbin |
sure does. several efforts to summarize and reconcile the various specs |
| 15:42 |
|
mamund |
one of the specs related to HTTP is the "multipart/form-data" spec (RFC2388) |
| 15:42 |
|
mamund |
https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2388.txt |
| 15:43 |
|
mamund |
this is a spec for transfering whole files. |
| 15:43 |
|
mamund |
hope that helps. |
| 15:43 |
|
pdurbin |
It does. Thanks. I wasn't aware of that RFC. |
| 15:43 |
|
mamund |
np |
| 15:43 |
|
mamund |
it's a bit dated, but it's the one browsers supprt |
| 15:44 |
|
mamund |
and most frameworks has built-in support for it, too. |
| 15:44 |
|
mamund |
makes it easy to implement for both servers and clients. |
| 15:45 |
|
pdurbin |
cool |
