# Managing pubsub nodes through HTTP Atompub #
## Configuration ##
These options will be used by the service to know how to build URLs. Using the previous configuration items the service should be accessed through `http://notify.push.bbc.co.uk:5280/pshb/<host>/<node>/`.
Also, in the ejabberd_http handler configuration, add the identified line.
{5280, ejabberd_http, [
http_poll,
web_admin,
{request_handlers, [{["pshb"], pshb_http}]} % this should be added
]}
It will automatically detect the version of mod_pubsub (odbc or mnesia) and call the appropriate module.
## Important notice ##
In the current version of the code, some security checks are not done :
* node creation uses the default `all` access_createnode acl, not checking for the actual configuration.
* most read operations are successfully executed without authentication. HOWEVER listing items can only be done when the node access_model is "open". In all other cases, the service returns 403. A finer grained authentication will be implemented.
## Usage example with cURL ##
### Errors ###
HTTP status codes are used as intended. Additionally, the XMPP error stanza can also be set in the body :
$ curl -i -X POST -u cstar@localhost:encore -d @createnode.xml http://localhost:5280/pshb/localhost
HTTP/1.1 409 Conflict
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 95
Content-type: application/xml
<error code='409' type='cancel'><conflict xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'/></error>
or
$ curl -i -X DELETE -u cstar@localhost:encore http://localhost:5280/pshb/localhost/princely_musings
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 101
Content-type: application/xml
<error code='404' type='cancel'><item-not-found xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'/></error>
### Getting the service document ###
No authentication necessary. All nodes are listed.
$ curl -i http://host:port/pshb/domain/
### Getting items from a node ###
No authentication done, and all nodes are accessible.
$ curl -i http://host:port/pshb/domain/node/
### Posting a new item ###
$ curl -u jid:password -i -X POST -d @entry.atom http://post:port/pshb/domain/node
User ability to post is based on node configuration.
### Editing a new item ###
$ curl -u jid:password -i -X POST -d @entry.atom http://post:port/pshb/domain/node/itemid
User ability to post is based on node configuration.
### Deleting an item ###
$ curl -u jid:password -i -X DELETE http://post:port/pshb/domain/node/itemid
User ability to post is based on node configuration.
### Creating a new node ###
An instant node can be created if server configuration allows:
$ curl -X POST -u cstar@localhost:encore -d "" http://localhost:5280/pshb/localhost
or
$ curl -X POST -u cstar@localhost:encore -d "<pubsub><create node='princely_musings'/></pubsub>" http://localhost:5280/pshb/localhost
configure element (as per XEP-60) can be passed in the pubsub body.
$ cat createnode.xml
<pubsub><create node='princely_musings' type='flat'/>

$ curl -i -X POST -u cstar@localhost:encore -d @createnode.xml http://localhost:5280/pshb/localhost

</pubsub>
$ curl -i -X PUT -u cstar@localhost:encore -d @createnode.xml http://localhost:5280/pshb/localhost/princely_musings
### Deleting a node ###
A node is deleted by:
$ curl -X DELETE -u cstar@localhost:encore http://localhost:5280/pshb/localhost/princely_musings
