Uploading artifact through REST

[Daan Veldhof <da...@gmail.com>]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to setup ACE so I don't have to interact with the Web UI, but I
can't find a clear REST call for uploading an artifact. I know there is the
way with the URL to the local file, but I want to be able to upload the
artifacts from another PC, so that's not really an option. I also know
there is this call below, but I don't know exactly how to add the file to
the request

- - POST /*obr*/${ID}, submits a resource to the *OBR*. The ${ID} is used
as the resource name and the content as its value. Returns a 409 if there
is a conflict with another resource;

I tried adding the file to the request with python using httplib
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
conn.request("POST", "/obr/bla.jar", open("bla.jar", "r"))
response = conn.getresponse()
print response.status, response.reason
data = response.read()
print data
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

And I tried it with python using urllib2 and poster
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
register_openers()
datagen, headers = multipart_encode({"blah": open("bla.jar", "rb")})
request = urllib2.Request("http://localhost:8080/obr/bla.jar", datagen,
headers)
print urllib2.urlopen(request).read()
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The GET and DELETE on /obr/${ID} do work for me.


Regards

IIRC: you should issue a POST request to /obr?filename=bla.jar with a
proper ContentType header. The ContentType header is used to determine
what kind of data you’re posting to the OBR. For bundles this value
should be "application/vnd.osgi.bundle".

Mind that bundles with the same bundle symbolic name and bundle version
can only uploaded once! Each bundle needs to have a unique version in
order to make it upload successfully to the OBR.

HtH,
