[orion-dev] Question to Server API / File API

["Kozyura, Vitaly" <v.kozyura@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

 

I have a question about Orion File API.

 

The following statement is from the wiki (http://wiki.eclipse.org/Orion/Server_API/File_API#Setting_file_contents):

“Note that changing the contents of a non-existing file is not permitted. Files are created via POST operations rather than a PUT.”

Otherwise in the implementation (http://download.eclipse.org/orion/) the creation of a file using PUT is allowed. I would expect here something like 404.

 

Is it a feature ? Does it have some meaning ?

 

Thanks in advance,

Vitaly
