After migrating our repository I want re-register existing dois to make them redirect to our new repository. Unfortunatly the datacite documentation didn't work for me. This is the example call from documentation:
# PUT /doi
$ curl -H "Content-Type:text/plain;charset=UTF-8" -X PUT --user username:password -d "$(printf 'doi=10.5072/JQX3-61AT\nurl=http://example.org/')" https://mds.test.datacite.org/doi/10.5072/JQX3-61AT
I changed the servern, doi and url part in accordance to my setup. All DOIs are already registered and associated with metadata. But I got only
HTTP/1.1 412 Precondition Failed
This usually happens if a DOI is not associated with a metadata stream. But in my case the DOI has metadata.
Working through the examples on the docu. This does not happen on the test instance it only happens in production.
Is there a way to re-register DOI redirects on datacite using curl?
After skipping through datacite source code I found a solution:
It is also possible to pass parameters as query parameters
curl -XPUT -uusername:password "https://mds.datacite.org/doi/?doi=10.5072/JQX3-61AT&url=https://myserver/url/for/10.5072/JQX3-61AT" -d"" -H"Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -i
datacite now returns
HTTP/1.1 201 Created
And the redirect points to our new server.
