Cannot create .acl file because of Content-Type

Hi,
I am developing a solid application. In my app, when I create a new file, (data.txt) I want to create a new .acl for this file (data.txt.acl). However, when I don’t specify content-type, the .acl is created on the server but it cannot be accessed ( Error: Don’t know how to parse application/octet-stream yet while trying to parse <https://mypod…/public/test/data.txt.acl> as application/octet-stream). In contrast, if I specify content-type: ‘text/turle’ , the .acl.ttl will be created, instead of .acl. So, how can i fix it?

Here is what i have:

  • solid server (inrupt.net) version 5.1.4
  • using solid-file-client

Version 5.x of NSS has changed the way that file extensions are handled and there are several unresolved issues which the developers are working on. See https://github.com/solid/node-solid-server/issues/1246. If you can, it may be best to wait a few days to see if this can get resolved. I am working on an updated version of solid-file-client but it isn’t ready yet. In the meantime, you may have better success with fileClient.fetch( foo, {method:“PUT”,… headers including content-type}).
