hello walter. ... these are link relation types and not profile identifiers, right? i am a bit concerned to see expected media types encoded in link relations,...
Dan, use 412 if a precondition in the request failed 409 if applying the update would result in a conflict (e.g. applying patch results in a conflict) (This is...
hello joern. ... you're saying this as if there was agreement on what DAG and DSP mean. i don't think that's the case. and i don't think that it is a binary ...
For example, suppose I pass an invalid argument (a -ve quantity of a product when placing an order, say)... what response is appropriate? One suggestion I've...
Yes, that's what I use too. But note that the description of 400 is being reformulated in httpbis in order to broaden it to encompass what you call semantic...
Hi, admittedly I completely missed the existence of RTSP[1]. It is a massive spec, sort of a redefined 2616 and stuff on top. I am trying the shortcut here:...

William This is very useful - thank you. Just to confirm my (refined) understanding here, I consider the meaning of 'rel' to be an orthogonal concern to the...
Hi Paul, In atompub, the rel="edit" link relation means you can PUT or DELETE to the href. Also in atompub, app:collection/accept/text() tells you you can POST...
Peter, Caveat: I am not an ATOM expert, happy to be corrected. I have investigated the 'edit' link relation previously and concluded that the semantics are...

Jørn, Paul, Peter: here are two options for a hypermedia affordances in a media type design that supports writing new and updating existing resources: <create...
Both examples allows the server to add new elements without breaking existing clients so both are fine with me. New clients has to look for new stuff anyway -...
Hi Mike, i guess the second design is easier to evolve by defining more valid action values without breaking the client, which can ignore unknown actions. As...
