[jira] [Comment Edited] (SLING-3203) Post servlet's delete operation deletes parent of nonexisting node

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-3203?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13804067#comment-13804067 ]

You could argue that the syntax of the request is incorrect...but 404 is fine as well, as we're not finding the resource we're being asked to delete.

> In the below scenario, /tmp/test is gone after the delete operation - the resource resolver goes up the path of the nonexisting node, and it's /tmp/test that's provided to the DeleteOperation.
> I think we should change this (maybe with a backwards compatibility switch), as it's clear that the user's intention in this case is not to delete /tmp/test. Maybe just reject :delete operations if the request has any selector or extensions.
> curl -u admin:admin -X POST http://localhost:8080/tmp/test/some.node
> curl -u admin:admin http://localhost:8080/tmp/test.tidy.2.json # looks good
> curl -u admin:admin -F:operation=delete http://localhost:8080/tmp/test.other/nothing
> curl -u admin:admin http://localhost:8080/tmp/test.tidy.2.json # 404
