Hi all,
A spec [1] that proposes adding a new server_ids query string parameter
to the existing GET /servers/detail URI resource has highlighted an
interesting issue.
The point of the spec is to add an ability to filter the results for the
GET /servers/detail API call to a specified set of instance UUIDs.
However, Tony Breeds points out that there will be a rather small limit
(~55 or so, maximum) on the number of UUIDs that can be specified in the
query parameters due to length limitations of the URI.
My suggestion was to add a new POST /servers/search URI resource that
can take a request body containing large numbers of filter arguments,
encoded in a JSON object.
API working group, what thoughts do you have about this? Please add your
comments to the Gerrit spec patch if you have time.
Thank you!
