HDATA — Alternate content negotiation

Open Closed All
  • Key: HDATA-22
  • Legacy Issue Number: 17377
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: HL7 ( Mr. Grahame Grieve)
  • Summary:

    Throughout section 6. of the hData spec, the server should accept the
    following HTTP
    query string to perform alternate media type negotiation:

    (URL)?format=(mediaType)

    where (mediaType) MUST be a valid Internet Media type. This explicit content
    negotiation takes precedence over the Accept-Header negotiation. The
    reason why this
    is needed is the unreliable support of the Accept-Header mechanism in
    clients, particularly
    in older development stacks. While we strongly encourage adoption of
    the content negotiation
    framework per the HTTP specification, we wish to be as inclusive as possible
