2.2.2. Depot Operations
Version 1:
A GET or POST/PUT operation that retrieves or uploads the contents of a file.
For GET requests, it behaves the same as Version 0.
For POST/PUT requests, it allows uploading file content to the repository.
Example:
URL:
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release/file/1/
a00030db8b91f85d0b7144d0d4ef241a3f1ae28f
Expects:
For GET: A SHA-1 hash of the file's content belonging to a package in the
request path.
For POST/PUT: The file content in the request body.
Returns:
For GET: The contents of the file, compressed using the gzip compression
algorithm.
For POST/PUT: Response status of 200 on success; any other status indicates
failure.
Version 2:
Extends Version 1 to add support for HEAD requests. For GET and POST/PUT
requests, it behaves the same as Version 1. For HEAD requests, it returns
metadata about the file without returning the file content.
Example:
URL:
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release/file/2/
