Ravi Prakash commented on HDFS-7588:
------------------------------------
Ok! I have a predicament now:
https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/WebHDFS.html#Create_and_Write_to_a_File
says
bq. Submit a HTTP PUT request *without automatically following redirects* and
without sending the file data.
Whereas XMLHttpRequest's specification says that it MUST follow redirects
transparently:
http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest1/#infrastructure-for-the-send-method .
There seems to be an argument in the community:
http://discourse.specifiction.org/t/followredirects-in-xmlhttprequest/420/6
I can't see another way of implementing file uploads via the browser using
WebHDFS without changing WebHDFS to return something other than a 307 code on
op=CREATE. [~szetszwo] [~wheat9] Do you have any suggestions / pointers?
