Hi Marco,
The current RESTXQ 1.0 specification seems to mandate that comma
separated lists needs to be extracted to single items [1]. There isn’t
that much activity on the EXQuery repository [2], but maybe it could
be discussed over there?
Yes. Going to ask there.
As an alternative, you can use the request:header function to retrieve
the full value [3].
Much better solution than mine! I'll follow this advice. Thanks!
Best,
Christian

Hello all,
need to use the If-Modified-Since header in one of my APIs. The
format requested is the IETF date format:
If-Modified-Since: Wed, 21 Oct 2015 07:28:00 GMT
as explained in [1].
If I pass the header as prescribed to a restxq made like:
declare
%rest:path("config")
%rest:header-param("If-Modified-Since", "{$modifiedsince-ietf}")
%rest:HEAD
function config:check($modifiedsince-ietf as xs:string?){
I get the following exception:
Cannot convert xs:string+ to xs:string?: ("Wed", "21 Oct 2015
07:28:00 GMT").
Which somehow demonstrates that , is treated as a separator of
values for the header.
I patched by replacing ? with * and using a string-join on the
$modifiedsince-ietf before passing it to the follwoing
parse-ietf-date function. But this is hard to explain and probably
subject to other issues in the future.
Is there a way to pass HTTP headers verbatim to the RestXQ function?
thanks!
