Marios Andreou commented on DTACLOUD-357:
-----------------------------------------
Dies - thanks for reporting this.
The "+json" bit was because in earlier version of the (then) work-in-progress
CIMI spec, every entity had it's own content type. So Machine create was like
"application/MachineCreate+json" for example (something like that anyway -
forget exact syntax). Thankfully we managed to convince the group that this was
unnecessary and so we now just have the much more sensible "application/json"
and "application/xml". Patch 1 here removes these old references.
Patch 2 fixes the error in the json parsing and Patch 3 makes sure the server
defaults to one of xml/json when a cimi request is being handled (deltacloud
requests can also do html).
NOTE: the returned XML/JSON may not be perfect. We are going to be working on
the CIMI impl. over the next
few days/weeks. However I believe the patches here address the concerns raised
in this ticket.
(patches also available @ http://tracker.deltacloud.org/set/116)
thanks! marios
