Re: [Dspace-tech] How to search items by metadata using REST API?

2015-08-05 Thread Peter Dietz
Hi Kim,

For versioning REST API, I'm not sure of a definitive best route to get
there. A while back, for a Ruby on Rails project, one way we made a
/rest/v1 and a /rest/v2 versions of that REST API, was just make a
subfolder v1 and v2, copy and paste our entire v1 code into v2, and
then never touch v1 code again, and update the v2 code to become different.
I'd imagine jaxrs has some other graceful routes to accomplish this, but
the subfolder route is easy-ish to support and understand.

But yes. Its growing through evolution. Rather than intelligent design. ;)

 Alan,

 The following PR has some code that will search metadata via the API:
 https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/954

 I am also on 4.3, so this code is compatible with DSpace4.3.

 But basically, the request that you have to send is something like
 this:
 curl -k -4 -H accept: application/json -H Content-Type:
 application/json -X POST 
 https://demo.dspace.org/rest/items/find-by-metadata-field; -d

 I've tried several variations of the following:

 $ http --print Hhb POST '

 It always returns with an HTTP 405. What is the proper way to use
