Another approach to QUERY #2654
Comments
I don't think that you want to REQUIRE that implementations treat it that way, but a suggestion that they could might help. |
Oh yes, this wouldn't necessarily be reflected on the wire or internally in implementations -- it's just how we talk about it / specify it. |
That's sort of how I've thought about it all along, so I haven't really considered the option of having another perspective. But now that you bring it up, I can see how being more explicit about this correlation in the spec might be helpful. Thumbs up! |
This sounds interesting. However, it would conflict with the case where the target URI of the QUERY request already contains a query part (I don't believe it's a common use case, but it would still be a weird conflict). |
Good point. Perhaps we could declare that to be a request error where |
Reading the remaining issues on QUERY, I'm starting to wonder if it would help to define it as a transformation on a GET request -- i.e., the body on QUERY becomes the query string on a GET URI, with the transformation governed by the media type on the QUERY.
That would clarify things like caching, identity, and conditional requests.
Just thinking out loud...
