Hello, how would you model an image archive where the client could retrieve: - images in their original format - thumbnails in different size (small, medium,...
I model /image/2 to represent the image resource, and each resolution that exists as an individual document gets its own url too at /image/2/{format} By...
Conneg could be used for this use case for non-HTML clients. However, conneg is based on each of these representations having a different media type, and you...
