Evan Ireland created ODATA-657:
----------------------------------

             Summary: Clarity needed about if/when Control Information" must be specified in payload send from client to server
                 Key: ODATA-657
                 URL: https://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-657
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: OData JSON Format
    Affects Versions: V4.0_OS
            Reporter: Evan Ireland
             Fix For: V4.0_ERRATA01


In regard to section 4.5 "Control Information", the JSON format spec is written as if it only considers payload sent in responses from server to client.

However it is clear that it must in some cases apply to content sent in payload from client to server.

For example, presumably when an inheritance hierarchy is involved, a POST request probably needs to set odata.type.

On the other hand, a client might not know a valid entity-id to put in odata.id for a POST request.
