PUT to /rest/api/package of {"name": "name", "resources": ["someurl.com/data"] } (i.e. resource is a string, not a dictionary) gives 500 error, when it should give a 400 error and helpful error message.

Exception:

As an

external front-end

I want to

be notified (by XML-RPC) about package creations and updates.

Implementation

1. A message queue worker waits for package update notifications
2. On reception, it constructs XML detailing the changes and PUSHes it to a configured URI.

Rather than turning the package fields into XML fields, the JSON dump of the list of package dictionaries will become a single XML parameter.

Config - in the CKAN config will be:

• URI to callback to
• API version to use (version 2 gives packages referred by ID not name)

As a

SOLR instance

I want to

keep my search index of CKAN packages up-to-date

Implementation

• Using asynchronous event notifications
• Running in a separate process to CKAN
