I promised a few quibbles. GET seems troublesome. There seems no way in WD1.1 to distinguish a GET that wants a JSON response from a GET that wants a JSON-RPC...
I wonder if in that case the right solution wouldn't be to simply send back the data from the "result" member of the Procedure Return Object (and the "error"...
I just realized a problem with what I proposed earlier. FWIW, JSON text cannot be composed of a single String, Number, Boolean or Null value. It must be either...
... I would like to back up Jim's problem statement. When a request arrives to the server, it must be possible to decide if we have a JSON-RPC request or not...

Sections 6.6 and 6.6.1 are probably more relevant for this discussion because that's what allows your case of optional versus required parameters to pass. I...
Atif, Thank you for the response. I was just thinking in terms of how the data is likely to be used. "system.describe" is a MUST for a conforming JSON-RPC...
Point taken, Jim. I agree that there may be room for misunderstanding. I'll see what I can do to improve the wording or discussion around that topic. Perhaps a...
... 1.1 WD only specifies "application/json" as an Accept parameter in the header to distinguish this from any other GET. Would "application/json-rpc" be a...
Hi Atif, ... It *is* also about content negotiation. If a client requires a json-rpc response it won't accept a non-json-rpc response and vice versa. But I can...

I found the following comment in the new draft: Atif Aziz: Strictly disallow the use of cookies. Disallowing cookies will make it impossible to use JSON-RPC...
... Why not just leave this outside of the spec, instead of `must`? I definitely see lots of places where sessions would to be started outside of the rpc call...

Matt + Wilfred, I wouldn't that note to heart. It was put in there to provoke some reaction and I have that reaction now. :) I'll be removing it moving forward...
... Hi, Atif Nice to hear! I was wondering about that comment as well. Do you see an important distinction between a JSON-RPC "Service" and JSON-RPC as a...
Jim, Perhaps I'm missing a finer point here. If a json-rpc service is listening, it either gathers what it needs from the environmental variables just like the...

I agree with what you are saying, because ideally the service should function with all of it's requirements being fulfilled in the request channel and not rely...

Hi Balazs, It's really a hard problem to solve entirely through Content-Type anyhow. The spec suggests "application/json" because that is the best-fit...
Hi Jim, Isn't this the same problem as trying to disambiguate a JSON-RPC request from other types so that it could be handled off the same end-point? If so,...
... Hi, Atif Yes. Thanks for the response. ... Yes. That is what we are aiming for as well. As I read the WD a bit closer, I am now understanding it to say...

Andread, I did consider this, but unfortunately, it seemed that baking anything short of an entire schema language for JSON would be a kludge and a problem...
Atif, Thank you for the reply. I completely understand your points, it just caught me off guard that the option to pass a raw json-rpc request object was...
