Hi,

I am a developer for a RLS server and I have encountered a problem with 
the interpretation of target list uri for a Subscription.
I consider the list uri to be the u...@domain part from the R-URI of the 
initial Subscribe, but someone reported an inconsistency when the R-URI 
also contains a parameter. The sip client considered the list uri to 
contain also the parameter part and used this when constructing the list 
document that was uploaded on the XCAP server, so the RLS server could 
not fetch the list.
My question is: Which interpretation is correct?  Should parameters also 
be used to identify resource URI?
This problem also exists with normal Subscribes.

I have looked through the RFC's and the RLS RFC says that:

Section 3. Overview of Operation

This resource list is represented by a SIP URI. 

To learn the resource state of the set of elements on the list, the
  user sends a single SUBSCRIBE request targeted to the URI of the
  list.


In RFC  3265 (SIP-Specific Event Notification ) it is stated that:

3.1.2. Identification of Subscribed Events and Event Classes

The Request URI of a SUBSCRIBE request, most importantly, contains
enough information to route the request to the appropriate entity per
the request routing procedures outlined in SIP [1].  It also contains
enough information to identify the resource for which event
notification is desired,, but not necessarily enough information to
  uniquely identify the nature of the event[..].


It is not clear from here what part of the R-URI identifies the target 
and whether parameters should also be used.

If parameters would also be considered some complications will appear:
- if a URI having a parameter 'transport=udp' should be matched to the 
URI without this parameter
- the order of the parameters should not matter - so how do I know which 
is the right combination to use when searching the list?

I hope someone can clarify this.

Thanks and regards,
Anca Vamanu
