Description of the code samples
The first example copies file with id 20 to page with id 213. The second example does the same except it renames the newly created file to "newname.txt"
Sample Code (Copy)
curl -u username:password -d "" -i http://mindtouch.address/@api/deki/files/20/copy?to=213
Sample Code (Copy and rename)
curl -u username:password -d "" -i "http://mindtouch.address/@api/deki/files/20/copy?to=213&name=newname.txt"
Implementation notes
curl flags
- -u:
- Basic HTTP authentication. Sends a username and password to server so it can verify whether a user is of privilege to perform specific operation.
- -d
- Specifies a POST request. The parentheses ("") imply no data, since no external data is required to complete the operation.
- -i
- Includes the HTTP response header in the output. Useful for debugging.
Example
In this example we will copy an attachment (id: 20) to the destination page (id: 456) and rename the file to "hello.txt".
Sample Code
curl -u admin:password -d "" -i "http://mindtouch.address/@api/deki/files/20/copy?to=456&name=hello.odt"
