folder/filename as ID

[logemann]

Tell us where you are using Dejavu (Hosted web app, Chrome extension, Docker Image, Within appbase.io)

Docker Image

What is the version of Dejavu that you are using?

1.6.1

Describe the issue that you are seeing, or the feature request :-), include any screenshots as necessary.

I want to store a folder/filename as ID in elasticsearch. When doing it via cURL directly, i do:

curl -X PUT "localhost:9200/okaydocs/files/aha%2Ffoo.pdf" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d' { "Bucket" : "kimchy", "Name" : "foo.pdf" } '

I can delete this easily via cURL:

curl -X DELETE "localhost:9200/okaydocs/files/aha%2Ffoo.pdf"

But when trying to delete it via dejavu, i am getting error because urlencoding will not be used by the webapp.

vendor.min.js:7 DELETE http://localhost:9200/okaydocs/files/aha/foo.pdf? 400 (Bad Request)

If your issue deals with accessing Elasticsearch cluster, share the necessary steps to replicate not needed

If your issue deals with a UI issue, share with us a screenshot of the failing network request or the browser console log showing the error.

@logemann I understand the issue. However, ES doesn't return back the id (via _search endpoint) as aha%2Ffoo, but as aha/foo.

How can dejavu know what ids to transform?

[logemann]

Dont understand the question. Why dont u just urlencode the ID which you get back from ES and use this for subsequent requests?

[siddharthlatest]

I am thinking about whether this will have any side-effects. I am trying to find any reading on how Elasticsearch handles URL encoding across versions.

[logemann]

according to ElasticSearch Reference documentation "/" is a valid character for an ID as are other chars like ".". Given thats the case, an application should handle this scenario. Especially if its a web viewer client for ES ;-)

• Update: We will add URLEncode(..) to all Ids being indexed into Elasticsearch. This will apply to all Insert JSON and Update requests, as well as when importing via importer.
