Space keys are case-insensitive in the UI, but case-sensitive in the REST API

XMLWordPrintable

      The Confluence UI considers space keys to be case-insensitive, e.g. 2 spaces with "test" and "TEST" as keys will not be allowed.

      The Confluence API, on the other hand, will not return a value for a GET with querystring parameter "test" if the key it was created with was "TEST".

            This issue is observed in at least Confluence Server 6.7.2 and also in Confluence Cloud. It is interesting to note that the creation of a page treats the space key as a case-insensitive value, where it is also observed that a page update requires a case-sensitive space key (see also tonybaloney/sphinxcontrib-confluencebuilder#118). Inspecting sources, it appears that a series of space-sanity checks compares the space key value with equals (e.x. ContentCreator::validateUpdate) rather than using a more relaxed check using equalsIgnoreCase (e.x. AbstractCreatePageAction::getFromPage).

            Minh,

            This was on a local install, so it was: http://localhost:8090/rest/api/space
