Description

owncloud makes use of the content type "application/json-merge-patch" together with the method PATCH.
This prevents using lighttpd as the web server for owncloud.

When using apache2 as a webserver for owncloud, everything seems to work. All other packages have been kept on the server.

Example php file (json-test.php):¶

<?php
$data = $_POST["data"];
var_dump($data);
$data = json_decode($data);
var_dump($data);
?>

Tests with Apache:¶

POST¶

curl -k http://owncloud.fritz.box/json-test.php -X POST -d data=[{\"datumType\":\"message\"}]
string(25) "[{"datumType":"message"}]" 
array(1) {
  [0]=>
  object(stdClass)#1 (1) {
    ["datumType"]=>
    string(7) "message" 
  }
}

PATCH¶

curl -k http://owncloud.fritz.box/json-test.php -X PATCH -d data=[{\"datumType\":\"message\"}]
NULL

Tests with lighttpd:¶

POST¶

curl -k http://owncloud.fritz.box/json-test.php -X POST -d data=[{\"datumType\":\"message\"}]
string(25) "[{"datumType":"message"}]" 
array(1) {
  [0]=>
  object(stdClass)#1 (1) {
    ["datumType"]=>
    string(7) "message" 
  }
}

PATCH¶
