"ReadOnly" : "false",

}
}

Editing a site configuration

Overview
The contents of an existing file can be replaced with a simple PUT to the file resource's location.
HTTP Method
PUT
Example Request
PUT /file/MyProj/myfile.txt HTTP/1.1
Orion-Version: 1.0
If-Match: "35fd43td2"
Content-Type: text/plain

This is the new contents  
Example Response
HTTP/1.1 HTTP/1.1 200 OK 
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 132
ETag: "35fd43td3"

{
"Name" : "myfile.txt",
"Location" : "http://example.com/file/MyProj/myfile.txt",
"ETag" : "35fd43td3",
"Directory" : "false",
"LocalTimeStamp" : "01234345009837",
"Charset" : "UTF-8",
"ContentType" : "text/plain",
"Attributes" : {
"ReadOnly" : "false",
"Executable" : "true"
}
}
Detailed Explanation
Note that changing the contents of a non-existing file is not permitted. Files are created via POST operations rather than a PUT. It is recommended that file changes be accompanied by the ETag of the resource state that was modified in the If-Match header. This prevents overwriting changes made by other clients since the resource was last retrieved. A 412 response indicates that an attempt was made to change a file that has been modified since it was last retrieved.


Deleting a site configuration

Overview
To delete a file or directory, send DELETE to the resource's location.
HTTP Method
DELETE
Example Request
DELETE /file/myfile.txt HTTP/1.1
Orion-Version = 1.0
If-Match: 980sdfhsdf8f

  
Example Response
HTTP/1.1 204 OK


Detailed Explanation
Use of the If-Match header is recommended to avoid deleting contents that have been modified by another party since the file was last retrieved. Deleting a non-existent resource succeeds with no effect (returns 204 OK).
