Hi All, I have been looking at the documentation and am having a hard time understanding if it is possible to send a PUT request via the blob service api to an existing blob (specified by csid) that specifies a new image file as the source for the blob. It seems to me that this is possible and requires specification of the "srcUri" in the request, but I cannot seem to make anything work. I'm attempting to repair a large number of blobs that have missing derivatives, for which I have all of the original media. I have had success creating a new blob and then updating the blobcsid field of the relevant media handling record, but it would be much more expedient to simply update the blob directly. Is this possible? Thanks, Nathan Kerr

Hi Nathan, It's not possible. There's an open issue for this: https://issues.collectionspace.org/browse/CSPACE-6633 Ray On Mon, Aug 14, 2017 at 11:52 AM, Nathan Kerr <nathan.p.kerr@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi All, > > I have been looking at the documentation and am having a hard time > understanding if it is possible to send a PUT request via the blob service > api to an existing blob (specified by csid) that specifies a new image file > as the source for the blob.
