getting a json response from a curl post
Hi everyone,
With the following curl command:
curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" -X POST -d "name=Andrew" -u
admin:admin http://localhost:8888/content/amiamo/thing/
I'm hoping to get a json representation of the newly minted "thing"
but alas, I get html back instead:
HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Location: /amiamo/thing/andrew
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Server: Jetty(6.1.x)

What I'm really after is the Location and the id that sling assigned
and I suppose I could use regex and pull out what I want, but it seems
like it should be honoring the "accepts" header and give me back
json... Or maybe I'm thinking about it all wrong?
Thanks!

Re: getting a json response from a curl post
Posted by Christophe Lombart <ch...@gmail.com>.
The current implementation of the default POST returns always an HTML
response.
You have to write your own servlet or script to return a json response.
Just one question to the dev team : The default GET can return different
kind of response (HTML, JSON, XML). Why not to do the same for a POST ?
