Another possibility: we could mandate that for web access, the URI must always end with a file extension type, and so the last dot would be unambiguous.
So you would never access http:/…/myaction You could only access http:/…./myaction.js , http:/…./myaction.txt, http:/…../myaction.svg, etc. The .js extension would be the default (or .json … I think I prefer .js) > On Jan 13, 2017, at 2:44 PM, Rodric Rabbah <[email protected]> wrote: > > More on this: >> One issue with using "." as the separator is that it's also a legal > character for action names. > > We could mandate that if an extension is present it is a content-type and > not an action name.
