[EP-tech] Re: Adding files to an eprint using cURL

I'm not sure about your curl command....

I'm using:
curl -i -u username:password --data-binary "@myFile.zip" -H 'X-Packaging: http://opendepot.org/RepNet/1.0' -H 'Content-Type: application/zip' http://myrepo.example.com/path/to/use 

(SWORD 1.3, but that's not important here)
Note the --data-binary option, and the use of the '@' at the start of the filename.

I have had to resort to praying to the EPrints angel, for the answer to
this one.  We are trying to write a simple PHP cURL wrapper for the
eprints functionality/API in CRUD.pm.

We have got so far, but are not able to add documents.  We have tried
several approaches including adding a complete EP xml object, with files
embedded and have tried to add only the <documents> sub object to a
pre-existing eprint, using cURL.

Nothing seems to work, and I don't know what is wrong.  Our latest
attempt is to add the files as a POST attachment.

curl -X POST -i -u dkane:maggots22 -d 'Hello, World!' -H
'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=/var/www/test.xml' -H
'Content-Type: text/plain' http://witeprints/id/eprint/26/contents

A lot of this is documented in
http://wiki.eprints.org/w/API:EPrints/Apache/CRUD

We are out of luck at the moment.  Could it be a bug?  If somebody else
could try this CURL command, we'd be much obliged.  We are working on
EPrints 3.3.11

Many thanks,

David Kane.
