Hi all I'm experimenting with Solr. I've successfully indexed some PDFs and all looks good but now I want to index some PDFs with metadata pulled from another source. I see this example in the docs.
curl "http://localhost:8983/solr/update/extract?literal.id=doc4&captureAttr=true&defaultField=text&capture=div&fmap.div=foo_t&boost.foo_t=3&literal.blah_s=Bah" -F "tutori...@tutorial.pdf" I can write code to generate a script with those commands substituting my own literal.whatever. My metadata could be up to a couple of KB in size. Is there a way of making the literal a POST variable rather than a GET? Will Solr Cell accept it as a POST? Something doesn't feel right about generating a huge long URL. I think Tomcat can handle up to 8 KB by default so I guess that's okay although I'm not sure how long a Linux command line can reasonably be. I know Curl may not be the right thing to use for production use but this is initially to get some data indexed for test and demo. Thanks Ross
