Description

Reported over the lists by user Stuti Awasthi:

I have tried the webhdfs functionality of Hadoop-1.0.0 and it is working fine.
Just a small change is required in the documentation :

Make a Directory declaration in documentation:
curl -i -X PUT "http://<HOST>:<PORT>/<PATH>?op=MKDIRS[&permission=<OCTAL>]"

Gives following error :
HTTP/1.1 405 HTTP method PUT is not supported by this URL
Content-Length: 0
Server: Jetty(6.1.26)

Correction Required : This works for me
curl -i -X PUT "http://<host>:<port>/webhdfs/v1/<PATH>?op=MKDIRS"
