ScaleOut StateServer REST API
Object Operations

In addition to allowing objects to be added to the ScaleOut service via an HTTP PUT request, the ScaleOut REST API allows objects to be added via HTTP POST requests—this facilitates uploading a file directly into the ScaleOut service from an HTML form. Only one file may be uploaded per request.

Unlike most operations in the REST API, POST requests do not rely on HTTP headers to supply additional arguments. Instead, form fields in the request are used to set policies and options for the uploaded file.

<!-- Example: Simple HTML form to upload a file to the "MyNamespace"
     namespace with a user-specified ID -->

<form id="UploadForm" action="/MyNamespace" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  ID: <input type="text" name="Soss-Key" /><br/>
      <input type="file" name="fileContent" multiple="false"/><br/>
      <input type="submit" value="POST File" />
</form>

	Note
	Form content must be submitted to the REST service using multipart/form-data encoding.

POST /data/{Namespace}
