Re: [camp] Issue 3: alternate proposed direction

[Anish Karmarkar <Anish.Karmarkar@oracle.com>]

Here is an alternate proposal for uploading a PDP that does not involve 
MIME, as promised:


1. Uploading a PDP to the Platform

To upload a PDP, a client send a HTTP POST request to the Platform URL 
with the PDP in the entity body of the request (Note: media-type of the 
request is TBD). On success, the server returns a 201 Created HTTP 
status code with the Location header that contains the URI that 
identifies the uploaded PDP.

Example:

POST /<platform-url> HTTP/1.1
Host: example.org
Content-Type: ...
Content-Length: ...

... <PDP> ...


HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Location: http://example.org/paas/pdps/1
Content-Type: ...
Content-Length: ...

...


Note that the client can use the value of the 'Location' header in the 
HTTP response to register the PDP as described in Section 6.11. The same 
uploaded PDP may be registered by the client more than once.

Comments?
