When making a PUT
request to create a new (local/remote/virtual) repository, the REST API of Artifactory will return:
200
when creation is successful 400
with the keywords already exists
in the response content if the resource already exists However , when performing the same operations on users/groups/permissions , the response is 201
in both cases, whether the resource
Response content is the same also!
Isn't this a bad api design?
There is a difference between the REST API's.
The Repository creation is marked as "Create Repository" for the PUT call and the update repository is done by using POST.
In the Users / Groups / Permissions, the REST API, using PUT, is used to "Create or Replace User" as you can see in JFrog Artifactory Wiki page for REST API .
For that reason, even if the user exists in Artifactory, you will get a 201 as a reply to the REST API command will "replace" the existing user.
