Hello Fabio & friends,
i tried to use curl and the RESTful API to
1) create a page: ok
2) upload a file/image: ok
3) create some TAGS to the page: ????
1) and 2) is working, but 3 is not working. What is wrong in 3)?
What about unicode/Umlaut in page-name, tag-name and
upload-filename. I have some problems with öäü-German and
øæå-Norwegian.
I use Autohotkey and cURL in WindowsXP.
Thank you folks...

Hi Volker,
3) doesn't work because the .../tags resource doesn't support PUT.
At the beginning this resource was just meant to be a shortcut to list
tags, not to modify them. But indeed it would be nice to allow the user
to modify tags through this resource. You can open an improvement
request on the JIRA for that.
As a workaround you can manipulate the TagClass object to modify tags:
curl -u "Admin:admin" -X PUT -H "Content-type: text/plain"
--data-ascii
"foo,bar"
http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/WebHome/obje…
If the reply is a 404, this means that the TagClass object doesn't exist
on the page. In this case you need to send an additional request to
create the object:
curl -u "Admin:admin" -X POST -H "Content-type:
application/x-www-form-urlencoded" --data-ascii
"className=TagClass&property#tags=foo,bar"
http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/WebHome/obje…
Concerning the unicode/Umlaut problem what's exactly the issue?
Hope this helps,
Fabio

Hi Fabio!
Thanks for reply.
I am still working with the "creating TAG" problem. I am able to create a
page and upload a file.
I am not able to make a TAG with your code. I am editing the files with
notepad in windows with UTF-8.
Working with norwegian Windows XP, Autohotkey with unicode support and curl
for windows.
I tried:
page = test-page222 ;
; ---make a page--- working with umlaut ;)
curl.exe -u "Admin:admin" -X PUT -d "@C:\file.xml" -H
"Content-Type:
application/xml"
http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/%page% ;
; --- upload a file --- working with umlaut ;)
curl.exe -u "Admin:admin" -T "C:\image.jpg"

;
; --- create a TAG--- NOT WORKING !

What is wrong with my code?

Apparently nothing.
When you see "NOT WORKING" what is exactly not working?
A "500 - Server rerror" reply? Tags not created correctly (i.e., with
invalid characters) ?
The second call to curl is functionally equivalent to the first (finally
the -d parameter sends data as "application/x-www-form-urlencoded") so I
really don't understand why the first is not working and the second one is.
If you provide more information (e.g., the trace-tagggg.txt file) maybe
I can help you better.

Hello Fabio!
I solved the TAG problem, but still fighting with Umlauts.
TAGs solved:
In Autohotkey environment i have to "escape" commas, they must be escaped as
shown here:
tags=foo`,bar
; --- create a TAG--- Working ;)
curl.exe -u "Admin:admin" -X POST -H "Content-type:
application/x-www-form-urlencoded" --data-ascii
"className=TagClass&property#tags=foo`,bar"
http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/%page%/objec…
Umlaut:
My code works without umlauts, but with umlaut i get a "0000: HTTP/1.1 405
Method Not Allowed"
page = test
page = øæåØÆÅ
;-make-
Runwait curl -u "Admin:admin" -X PUT -d "(a)1.xml" -H
"Content-type:
application/xml; charset=UTF-8"
http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/%page%
;-upload-
RunWait curl -u "Admin:admin" -T "wordlist.txt"
http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/%page%/attac…
;-make tag-
RunWait curl -u "Admin:admin" -X POST -H
"Content-type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8"
--data-binary "className=TagClass&property#tags=test"
http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/%page%/objec…
;-write tag-
RunWait curl -u "Admin:admin" -X PUT -H "Content-type:
text/plain;charset=UTF-8"
--data-binary "%page%`,%page%"
http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/%page%/objec…
When %page% with Umlauts i get:
http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/file/n5638047/trace-make.txt
trace-make.txt
I tried a DOS-batch with curl UTF-8 encodet getting the same results. Is
there a mismatch with codepages?
Yours Volker

I don't really know what a "Autohotkey environment" is, but I
retested
it and it works perfectly without any escaping at all (though I am under
Ubuntu)
Umlaut:

Again, tried with a BASH terminal under Ubuntu:
;-make-
Runwait curl -u "Admin:admin" -X PUT -d "(a)1.xml" -H
"Content-type:
application/xml; charset=UTF-8"
http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/%page%
What I did: curl -u "Admin:admin" -X PUT -H "Content-type:
text/plain"
--data-ascii " Hello world"
http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/øæåØÆÅ
(Which is equivalent to send an XML with the content information)
Result: page created.
;-upload-
RunWait curl -u "Admin:admin" -T "wordlist.txt"
http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/%page%/attac…
What I did: curl -u "Admin:admin" -T tagcloud3.png
http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/øæåØÆÅ/attac…
Result: attachment created (though the name is: oaeaOAEA)
;-make tag-
RunWait curl -u "Admin:admin" -X POST -H
"Content-type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8"
--data-binary "className=TagClass&property#tags=test"
http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/%page%/objec…

"className=TagClass&property#tags=foo,bar"
http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/øæåØÆÅ/objec…
Result: Object tags created and with foo,bar tags
;-write tag-
RunWait curl -u "Admin:admin" -X PUT -H "Content-type:
text/plain;charset=UTF-8"
--data-binary "%page%`,%page%"
http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/%page%/objec…
What I did: curl -u "Admin:admin" -X PUT -H "Content-type:
text/plain"
--data-ascii "øæåØÆÅ,øæåØÆÅ"
http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/øæåØÆÅ/objec…
Result: tags modified to øæåØÆÅ,øæåØÆÅ
Bonus: I also tried with --data-binary as you did and I get the correct
result.
So, finally, I cannot reproduce your errors :(
I don't have a Windows box to make tests with it, but I think that a
possible cause is the configuration of your Windows terminal that makes
curl.exe send some extra stuff that confuses the REST subsystem.
For your information my BASH shell has LANG=en_US.utf8 and
gnome-terminal is configured with Unicode (UTF-8)
Maybe somebody else with a Window system can help you better.

Fabio, thanks for reply!
There is something rotten with my Windows codepages. When creating a new
page on your sandbox I get the umlauts in the address like:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/øætestøæå
But in my systems I get:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/%C3%B8%C3%A6test%C3%B8%C3%A6%C3%A5
http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/file/n5653682/xwiki-encode.jpg
The wrong encoding is stopping curl on Restful interface. But what to do? I
am not able to change the Windows environment here.
yours Volker
