Hello, I need BaseX not to chop whitespaces while creating DBs out of my XML texts. I found this post : https://mailman.uni-konstanz.de/pipermail/basex-talk/2010-April/000213.html and this documentation : http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Options#CHOP But could someone please show me how to write it as a REST POST request ? I looked at examples here http://docs.basex.org/wiki/REST#Command_Line but always get a "Nodes must belong to "http://www.basex.org/rest"" error... Thanks a lot !! Maud

Dear Maud, the required namespace has changed. With BaseX version 7.0.2 you have to write: <query xmlns='http://www.basex.org/rest'> With BaseX version 7.1 you have to write: <query xmlns='http://basex.org/rest'> (without www like in the command line example) Kind regards Thomas in the command line examples the name space is wrong

Thanks for this hint. We have decided to enhance our REST API to allow the specification of database options. You can now add the "chop=false" parameter to stop the whitespace normalization of documents (I've updated the documentation [1] and latest releases [2]).

As Thomas already noted, the namespace has changed from 7.0.2 to 7.1 (and will now stay as it is ;). Hope this helps, Christian [1] http://docs.basex.org/wiki/REST [2] http://files.basex.org/releases/latest/

Hallo Christian und Thomas, Sorry for the delay too ! I was on holidays and then badly ill. something attacked my poor lungs during almost 15 days :( It almost works now, the namespace is ok, but it seems I still write something wrong somewhere... curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -d "<command xmlns=' http://www.basex.org/rest'><text>SET CHOP false ; CREATE DATABASE DonTest DonEun/DonEun.xml</text></command>" "mingarao:********@ basex.tge-adonis.fr/rest/DonTest" I thik the path is wrong or something like that... All the best, Maud On Tue, Feb 14, 2012 at 7:03 PM, Christian Grün <christian.gruen at gmail.com>wrote:

I'm sorry for that.. Hope you are better again! The following query should do what you need (provided you're using one of the latest snapshots): curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -d "<command xmlns='http://basex.org/rest'><text>CREATE DATABASE DonTest DonEun/DonEun.xml</text><option name='chop' value='false'></option></command>" "mingarao:********@basex.tge-adonis.fr/rest" Hope this helps, Christian
