Quality

The Qucosa SWORD File Handler is a somewhat proprietary extension to the SWORD v1.3 protocol. It has been implemented on top of an old version of SWORD Server. Some extensions and refactoring had to be made to make it work. This increased the overall code quality a bit, however, since there will be a brand new SWORD v2 compliant service for the new Fedora 4, not all the necessary cleanup has been done. Some peculiarities, especially around ATOM documents, remain.

Errors

Server errors will be misleading mostly. Often times Internal Server Errors (500) will be returned when instead Bad Request (400) would be appropriate. Check the server logs for detailed Exception stack traces (which leak there).

Will this be fixed?

Most likely, no. There will be a brand new implementation of the SWORD v2 protocol specification for Fedora Commons 4. So there is no need to further bother with the old SWORD Server implementation.
