Description

In document

curl -i -X PUT "http://<HOST>:<PORT>/webhdfs/v1/<PATH>?op=GETXATTRS
                              &encoding=<ENCODING>"

Actually it's a GET. If you do it with PUT, you get

{"RemoteException":{"exception":"IllegalArgumentException","javaClassName":"java.lang.IllegalArgumentException","message":"Invalid value for webhdfs parameter \"op\": No enum constant org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.web.resources.PutOpParam.Op.GETXATTRS"}}
