When I want to create a file under a folder, the Node server create a folder instead. I can verify that the request sent from the browser is correct. The response to browser however is wrong, with "Directory" set to "true".

Thanks for the bug.

For compatibility with the Orion Java server, the Node server needs to understand both "false" (the string) and false (the boolean) as possible values of the request's "Directory" field.

While implementing Bug 402786 I broke the handling of strings -- and unfortunately the client always sends strings (which is weird, opened bug 417528).

The fix + test is in master:
http://git.eclipse.org/c/orion/org.eclipse.orion.client.git/commit/?id=8d2319b

The npm builds of Orion do not contain this bug.
