Question

I am continuously getting an HTTP 409 error on every POST request I initiate with a brand new clean RavenDB installation. I have extracted build 960 on my Windows 7 64bit development workstation (which exceeds the recommended minimum system requirements). My Config is included below. I start the server by running the Start.cmd. While the server is running, I copy paste the CURL command from the RavenDB website’s HTTP API documentation and run it but I get an HTTP code 409 error. I haven’t found any instructions on handling this error appropriately or special instructions for explicit configuration other than setting the appropriate Anonymous access. I have also seen this same problem running the same server setup from other workstations and using other clients (Ruby rest-client gem).

CONFIG

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <appSettings>
    <add key="Raven/Port" value="*"/>
    <add key="Raven/DataDir" value="~\Data"/>
    <add key="Raven/AnonymousAccess" value="All"/>
    <add key="Raven/RunInMemory" value="true"/>
  </appSettings>
    <runtime>
        <loadFromRemoteSources enabled="true"/>
        <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
            <probing privatePath="Analyzers"/>
        </assemblyBinding>
    </runtime>
</configuration>

Command line client:

C:\dev\RavenDB> curl -v -X POST http://localhost:8080/docs -d "{ FirstName: 'Bob', LastName: 'Smith', Address: '5 Elm St' }"

Here is the error that occurs when I try to manually create a new document via the web interface.

This is a bug is 960 which doesn’t support POST to /docs
You need to do a PUT to /docs/[Guid.NewGuid()]
