      Since 10.3, it is now possible to update blob(s) through the REST API when PUTing a document. Nuxeo reads the JSON object for a blob property and tries to resolve a blob from the download url set in the data field.
      The format of the JSON object is:

      {
        "data": "http://SERVER/nuxeo/nxfile/repository/docid/xpath"
      }
      

      All other fields are ignored.

      Nuxeo does the following when trying to resolve a blob:

      • fetch the document
      • fetch the referenced blob property
      • check the download permissions
        If one of the above fails (null, not found, no permission, ...), you get back a Bad Request response (400) when saving the document.

      On 9.10-HF19, it is not enabled by default to avoid any behavior changes. To enable it, you need to contribute the following configuration property:

      <require>org.nuxeo.ecm.core.automation.core.properties</require>
        <extension point="configuration" target="org.nuxeo.runtime.ConfigurationService">
        <property name="nuxeo.automation.object.blob.decoder.enabled">true</property>
      </extension>

      Description

      Sending a PUT request with a payload which tries to update a BlobList property will remove some of the blobs if the payload contains less values than the property.

      Steps to reproduce

      1. Create a File document
      2. Attach 3 files to the attachments (files:files metadata). The resulting JSON is
        {
            "entity-type": "document",

        curl -X PUT \

          -H 'Postman-Token: 67197919-de73-4a15-8635-87c17e23d630' \
          -H 'X-NXproperties: *' \
          -d '{
          "entity-type": "document",
          "uid": "a5aba8bc-d3d2-4500-884d-1cd388cc799b",
          "properties": {
            "files:files": [
              {

            ]
          }
        }'
        
      4. Observe that the 2 last attachments have been removed. If the cURL command have had two values for files:files, only the last attachment would have been removed.
        The resulting JSON of the previous command is

            "Thumbnail"
          ]
        }
        

      This behavior may be the consequence of NXP-18488 which sets the property to null when decoding JSON to a BlobProperty where the data starts with http.

      Expect result:
      It is ok to block the update but not to loose some data

      Ideally there should be a way (a third JSONBlobDecoder implementation?) to be able to update a bloblist property.
