             Summary: Post servlet's :delete operation deletes parent of nonexisting node
                 Key: SLING-3203
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-3203
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Servlets
    Affects Versions: Servlets Post 2.3.2
            Reporter: Bertrand Delacretaz


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
