Re: Exist REST Problems

Posted by Hank Ratzesberger on

I did, but I did not clarify that GET and POST return
different results.

I also tried everything to sitemap.xmap with
no results, so the issue is with eXist.

Would you do us the favor of posting this issue,
I think you could be clearer than I.

Thank you,
Hank
