[ckan-dev] Ckanclient file upload fails

Tue Apr 2 15:48:39 UTC 2013

See useful discussion of this here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14535523/uploading-files-to-a-dataset-in-ckan-datahub-io-through-a-java-client

I don't have much experience of it myself and questions on this matter
on this left have been unanswered. I would have expected the
ckanclient implementation remains the reference code, and the
StackOverflow comment from Karel appears the only helpful guidance out
there.

I think the upload file feature was developed as a beta feature and
left somewhat undocumented and a bit cranky. It really needs one of
the funded CKAN deployment teams to take it on and make it robust.
