Andy, You claim that there is an issue with redirection and query parameters. A client is not required to use the redirection service or a redirection at all and can directly query the target servers, so I view this as a special case that you say is best solved with RDAP-X. What I'm requesting is to ensure that RDAP fully supports query parameters for the existing and future RDAP extensions and to address the redirection issue in general with use of RDAP-X as an alternative to query parameters. An RDAP extension can provide additional client specified options using query parameters and those query parameters could be passed using RDAP-X as an alternative? The RDAP-X is focused on signaling of the extensions that should be returned in the response, which is already being addressed by draft-gould-regext-rdap-versioning. Address the broader issue instead of targeting a problem that is already being worked on and let's get past the query parameter vs. RDAP-X debate.

You have understated the problem. The issue is not with redirection services but with redirects in general. Are you suggesting we add a query parameter that mirrors the functionality of the media type's extension parameter? If so, does this work for you? --- This document defines a URL query parameter named "rdapx_extensions". This query parameter has the same syntax as the extension parameter of the RDAPX media type. Use of this query parameter is NOT RECOMMENDED as such usage has known interoperability problems in popular use cases. There is no guarantee servers will preserve this query parameter when issuing redirects. Clients SHOULD NOT use this query parameter unless they are operating in an environment in which this query parameter will be preserved in an HTTP redirect. --- -andy _______________________________________________ regext mailing list regext@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/regext
