HTTP interface: add collections?

[COELMONT, Geert]

Hi,
I've looked at the documentation for the Daisy repository HTTP interface. It describes nicely how to create new documents via http://.../repository/document

The details on how to add other components (notably collections) is missing, but i thought it would be similar, just simpler because a Collection doesn't have as many attributes.

For some reason i can't get it to accept my XML form. Can anyone please tell
- if it's possible to create new Collections this way
- if perhaps my XML is lacking something

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<ns:collection
   xmlns:ns="http://outerx.org/daisy/1.0"
   name="test collection">
</ns:collection>

curl -s --basic --user name:pw --form xml=@... http://localhost:9263/repository/collection

The answer I keep getting is an XmlException "Content is not allowed in prolog." which seems to be a generic error message if anything is wrong. I got many of those when initially trying to add new Documents (but i got that to work in the end).

Thanks

Geert

I think you need --data @newcoll.xml instead of --form xml=@...
