Description

Creating an LDPC doesn't appear to be supported... or buggy/misleading AFAICT. If I've overlooked something, please point it out. Besides that what I expect to work (either, but ideally both):

  • HTTP POST + Link with LDPC (+ Slug)
  • HTTP PUT + Link with LDPC

At the moment, PUT refers to POST. POST creates a LDPR.

Research direction

Trace the server's POST and PUT handling for requests with a Link header identifying an LDPC, including Slug handling. Confirm the current behavior described in the issue, then define and test the chosen outcome: reject unsupported requests clearly or create the expected LDP-BC automatically; verify that ordinary POST behavior is unchanged.
