[OASIS Issue Tracker] (OSLCCCM-22) Provide a way for a client to discover the configuration used to resolve a request

[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

     [ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/OSLCCCM-22?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Nick Crossley updated OSLCCCM-22:
---------------------------------

    Proposal: 
The following text was added to the draft spec:

Where the response to a GET is a single versioned resource, the server SHOULD include a <code>Configuration-Context</code> header indicating the precise configuration in which that resource was found.
Note this is frequently not the same as the context on the request: the context on the request is likely to be a global configuration, while the context on the response, if present, MUST be the leaf-level provider-specific configuration contributed to the requested context.


  was:Servers SHOULD use the Configuration-Context header in any response to a request for a single versioned resource, indicating which local configuration was used to satisfy that request.

> The spec allows a client to provide a configuration context using either a header or a query string, but there is no way for the client to discover if this configuration was actually used, or which contribution to a global configuration was used, to satisfy the request.
