application/vnd.csp.container-info+xml POST

[nandan]

Hi !

I've created two containers and now I want one container to move inside the other. I followed instructions on the howto documentation but I keep getting an error like this :

XML Syntax Error: Namespace prefix xlink for type on parent is not defined, line 1, column 36

this is the xml im using:

updatecontainer.xml
  1 <container>
  2   <parent xlink="https://xyz.abc.com/v2/containers/ABC123" xlink:type="simple"/>
  3 </container>
                   
curl statement:

curl -v -u <username>:<password> -X PUT -H 'Content-Type: application/vnd.csp.container-info+xml' https://xyz.abc.com/v2/containers/XYZ12345 -d @updatecontainer.xml

The example shown in the Curl Howto is missing the xmlns:xlink declaration.
I will correct this momentarily but the missing information you need is shown below:

 <container xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
  <parent xlink:href="https://xyz.abc.com/v2/containers/ABC123" xlink:type="simple"/>
  </container>

Thanks !

one more quick help needed:

after changing that its giving me this error:
XML Failed Validation: Element 'container': Missing child element(s). Expected is one of ( name, created, inproject, modified, owner, version, shared, accessed, bytes, contents )

I apologize for the incorrect information.
At the time that the curl document was written the 'name' element wasn't required.
This has changed and I would recommend that at a minimum the 'name' element be also added to the application/vnd.csp.container-info+xml document.

Note:
A application/vnd.csp.file-info+xml document will also require a <mime_type> element in addition to the name.

In light of this I would recommend that you send a complete application/vnd.csp.container-info+xml document when you 'move' a container.
