General Notes
- All paths above are relative to the REST endpoint base (something like http://your.server/files)
- If the service is down or not working it will return a status 503, this means the the underlying service is not working and is either restarting or has failed
- A status code 500 means a general failure has occurred which is not recoverable and was not anticipated. In other words, there is a bug! You should file an error report with your server logs from the time when the error occurred: Opencast Issue Tracker
