Reason for empty node list

disabled

1.1.1.3. Response Body

The body of the response to a GET / is Content-Type text/plain list of IP addresses of DX Storage

nodes local to that proxy, one address per CRLF-terminated line.

The Content-Length header calculation is based on the number of bytes in this list of CRLF

terminated IPs. If the list is empty, the Scsp-Proxy-Nodes header indicates count=0 and the

Content-Length header is zero.

The body of the response to a HEAD / is always empty, although the Content-Length header

indicates the total number of response bytes that would have been returned if the HEAD had been

a GET. Additionally, the Scsp-Proxy-Nodes header indicates the number of nodes that would have

been returned and, if this count is zero, provides the reason for the empty list exactly as it does for

GET /.

1.1.2. About Expect: 100-continue Behavior

If the initial request includes an Expect: 100-continue header, the SCSP Proxy waits to read

the input stream and won't rewind, seek, or reset it on a WRITE, APPEND, or UPDATE for small

streams until 100-continue is received. If the initial request does not include an Expect: 100-

continue header, the SCSP Proxy buffers input from the client but attempts to stall the input data

object from the client if the buffer reaches a limit. If the request content length is larger than 128K, it

adds Expect: 100-continue to the request it sends to the local cluster and handle DX Storage's

100 response.

1.1.3. About Location Headers

To properly route subsequent requests, the SCSP Proxy returns one Location response header

with its own external IP address and discards any other Location headers. For Replicate on Write

requests, this means all Location response headers are rewritten.

1.2. Remote Cluster Communication and Coordination

Developers who need to interact with multiple DX Storage clusters, either independently or in

multi-cluster requests, can use the SCSP Proxy for remote cluster communication and can even

coordinate requests between more than one cluster at a time.

To use the following syntax, the proxy must be configured with a list of all known remote clusters (for

more information, see

the Proxy; sending requests formatted as follows directly to a DX Storage cluster results in a 404

(Not Found) error because DX Storage attempts to resolve it as a path to a named object.

Syntax

/_proxy/cluster-name/uuid-or-

name

/_proxy/any/uuid-or-name

Meaning

Indicates the Proxy's reportHosts configuration parameter is

set to False.
