/rest/db/file don't get file infos

Support
1

Hi,

I try to get file info from /rest/db/file with this: http://127.0.0.1:8586/rest/db/file?folder=hitys-qk7th&file=data.txt

data.txt is at the root of the folder, but I always get an error 404. I try with some other folder and file, always the same :confused:

I use v1.7.1

Iā€™ve tried completion of a folder, ping, ectā€¦ everything works fine

thanks

You might need to prefix it with a slash. Also, the port looks suspicious.

3

The port is normal, I change it at startup for testing purpose. Iā€™ve tried that: http://127.0.0.1:8586/rest/db/file?folder=hitys-qk7th&file=/data.txt without luke :confused:

4

Hard to say, your example works for me in 1.7.1. Without slash. (With API-key.) With the ampersand escaped, as Iā€™m using curl in a shell.

Iā€™m very confusedā€¦ I just try with shell:

same, 404 errorā€¦ the folder param is the good ID, the file is in the folderā€¦

6

You need to quote the URL. & has a special meaning if not quoted.

Same resultā€¦

In shell, everything I try with DB got 404 error, I just try a ping and that work well, I try completion, and I got 404 error in the shell and good result in my script

8

Does it still print ā€œfileā€ command not found?

9

Nope, when quoted no other message than 404 page not found was shown

Do you have a reverse proxy or something? Because its not the standard port.

11

No, I just set another port at startup (-gui-adress=127.0.0.1:8586) but I set the default port and test again, same result:

Ok, ping works because POST and GET do the same, I set POST and note GET in the shell, so, ping works and other command who only GET things not worksā€¦ So, completion works now in shell, but I got ā€œNo such object in the indexā€ when try /rest/db/fileā€¦ that look to be a step! I always get error 404 in my script, and the method was set to GET from the beginning, so itā€™s not the problem here.

13

Yeah I was just going to say, these are not POST endpoints.

% curl -H X-API-Key:abc123 "http://localhost:8082/rest/db/file?folder=default&file=data.txt"
{
  "availability": null,
  "global": {
    "deleted": false,
  ...

% curl -sH X-API-Key:abc123 "http://localhost:8082/rest/system/version" | grep version
  "version": "v1.7.1"
14

Yeah, but that not works, even in my script where POST is set from the beginning. Now in shell I have another error: ā€œNo such object in the indexā€

I feel like I miss somethingā€¦

The index paths are case sensitive too

16

What is the index?

17

The file part of the url is what gets stored in the index.

18

Ok, I found why that not works from the beginning (after recreating the sharing folder - before, same result has before): the folder have to be unpauseā€¦

So, itā€™s not possible to know if a folder have to be updated without try to update it?

I mean, the device is unpaused, but all folder are paused, the fact that the device is unpause is not enough to get information about folders?

19

No, a paused folder pretty much does not exist in syncthing.

20

Just to be sure, I have no choice, if I want to pause just the download, I have to pause the folder and lost all access to information about it?
