clarify where OCI-Chunk-Min-Length response headers are expected (#481)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The first section speaks about a chunked upload with three stages
of HTTP requests (POST, PATCH, PUT), so the wording "the response"
is ambiguous as to which one of the three requests it's for.

The conformance tests seem to imply POST, and that is what makes
the most sense to me - if the server only gives the minimum
after the first PATCH or PUT, the client might have already written
chunks which are too small without realising.

Another bit of the spec talks about the same header,
but refers explicitly to the PUT response of a chunked upload.
This again doesn't feel right: I think POST was meant instead.
Giving the minimum as part of the final PUT response is pointless,
since the client isn't writing any more chunks after that point.
