[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ISPN-8529) REST Cache create and remove

REST Cache create and remove ---------------------------- Key: ISPN-8529 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-8529 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Remote Protocols, Server Reporter: Tristan Tarrant Assignee: Tristan Tarrant Fix For: 9.3.0.Final Implement cache creation/removal over HTTP. Since WebDAV (RFC-4918) describes operations over "collections", we can reuse the semantics of invocations and error messages. In particular: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4918#section-9.3 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4918#section-9.6.1 Cache creation: *MKCOL /{cacheName}[?template={template}]* This will create the named cache, using the optionally supplied template name for configuration. If a template is not specified, then the configuration of the default cache defined on the cache container will be used. Cache removal *DELETE /[cacheName]* This method's behaviour is affected by the presence and value of the `Depth` header. The header can have the following values: * infinity,noroot: deletes the contents of the cache. This is the default behaviour (for backwards compatibility this does not respect the behaviour described in link:https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4918#section-9.6.1[WebDAV RFC] regarding removal of collections). If successful this operation returns a status of 200. * infinity: removes the cache from the system. If security is enabled, you will need ADMIN permissions. If successful, this operation returns a status of 204 (No Content). This method also understands <<rest:adminflags>>
