Hi,I'd like to add some metadata to a file already existing on Alfresco.I want to do it from a server-side of a node application.I'm doing a request as following :var request = require('request')var r = request.put('http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/public/alfresco/versions/1/nodes/'+node

Got it done with :

var http = require("http");
var options = {
      'host': 'localhost',
      'port': '8080',
      'path': '/alfresco/api/-default-/public/alfresco/versions/1/nodes/'+nodeId+'?alf_ticket='+JSON.parse(chunk).data.ticket,
      'method': 'PUT',
      'headers': {
       'Content-Type': 'application/json'
       }
   };
var body = {
               'properties':{
                   'cm:description': 'desc'
               }
           }
var req = http.request(options, function(res){
               console.log('STATUS: ' + res.statusCode);
               console.log('HEADERS: ' + JSON.stringify(res.headers));
               res.setEncoding('utf8');
               res.on('data', function (chunk) {
                   console.log('BODY: ' + chunk);
               })
           })
req.on('error', function(e) {
   console.log('problem with request: ' + e.message);
});
req.write(JSON.stringify(body));
req.end();

Allows to update already existing properties, now looking for creating custom ones easily
