close http session through REST

[Miklos Espak]

Hi,

I need to close http sessions through the REST API.

The documentation does not say anything about this, but I tried it in my naive way and it seems to work. See the last command below.

Can somebody confirm that this is a standard feature that I can rely on? If yes then it could be added to the documentation pages.

Cheers,

Miklos

Create a session:

wes:xnat-scripts espakm$ curl -u demo:demo -X POST "https://hipposeg.cs.ucl.ac.uk/REST/JSESSION"

470D2A3153D92E3520D8614A58CBD4CA

Query all projects by the session id (no authentication):

wes:xnat-scripts espakm$ curl --cookie JSESSIONID=470D2A3153D92E3520D8614A58CBD4CA -X GET "https://hipposeg.cs.ucl.ac.uk/REST/projects?format=csv"

"ID","secondary_ID","name","description","pi_firstname","pi_lastname","URI"

"DEMO","DEMO","DEMO","Demo project for hippocampus segmentation with sample data",,,"/data/projects/DEMO"

Delete the session:

wes:xnat-scripts espakm$ curl --cookie JSESSIONID=470D2A3153D92E3520D8614A58CBD4CA -X DELETE "https://hipposeg.cs.ucl.ac.uk/REST/JSESSION"

Hi Miklos,

 

I tried this out and it appears to be designed for your use case (re-use of a session across multiple command line REST calls).  The code does in fact invalidate the HTTP session when you DELETE it.

 

I’ve added some more details to the doc for this call:  https://wiki.xnat.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=6226264
