[BackupPC-devel] Status Result codes for direct restore

[Henrik Genssen]

Hi,

I am using backuppc 3.1.0.
If I download a single file from a backup directly I get the file downloaded in its binary form fine using the web-interface.

If I now write a script constructing the URLs for my missing files to download them from a backup, this works of course, too :-)
But if the file does not exist in the given backup, I get a HTTP Result code of 200 with a HTML Page telling me, that the file was not found. Does this make sense?
Is it just related to my old backuppc version?

regards

Henrik

What result code are you expected?
You got 200 OK since you successfully got a web page.

I would expect a 404, as the content I requested was not found.
The content of the resulting HTML page is fine and any browser would show it up even on a 404 state.

regards,
Henrik

Quick patch is here:
https://gist.github.com/moisseev/f27aaa9a771b3d66830e

The patch set 404 status code to HTTP header for all objects returned on error. It is not correct but it should work for your needs.
The diff was made against installed FreeBSD package backuppc-3.3.0_7. This part of 3.1.0 code shouldn't differ except line numbers.
