Subject: Proposal: Link header in responses to AutomationRequest creation
Currently, as I understand it, Automation clients must query to find the AutomationResult for an AutomationRequest they created. Something like
oslc.where=oslc_auto:producedByAutomationRequest=<request-uri>
This requires at least two requests, one POST for the AutomationRequest and one GET to find the AutomationResult. It also forces servers to support OSLC query. As someone who has written several OSLC providers, I can say query is a lot of work to implement and difficult to get right.
I propose we add an optional Link response header [1] in responses to OSLC AutomationRequest creation. This is an optimization to remove the query step. For example,
[Date Prev] | [Thread Prev] | [Thread Next] | [Date Next] -- [Date Index] | [Thread Index] | [List Home]
