WAMP Specifications (Details/Options)

[David Chappelle]

I am a bit confused reading through the current WAMP specifications. In particular, the simple profile specification defines a HELLO message as:

    [HELLO, Realm|uri, Details|dict]

It then refers to the details portion of the message as follows:

    Hello.Details.*

This same semantic continues in the advanced profile specification but all of a sudden the following crops up:

    HELLO.Options.*

So my question is, are "Details" and "Options" actually interchangeable terms or are they separate things? The examples seem to indicate that they are one and the same but I just wanted to make sure. For example:

[1, "realm1",
 {
 "roles": ...,
 "authmethods": ["wampcra"],
 "authid": "peter"
 }
]

Thanks,

Dave

Hi David!

"Options" and "Details" are indeed used synonymously here - and really shouldn't be. AFAIK, throughout the spec"options" should be used for a dictionary which can be sent as part of a call/publish/message which initiates a communication, while "details" is for dictionaries which are sent as part of results/events/messages which react to a previous communication.

We'll try and clean things up in this regard.

Regards, 

Alex

No. They are different things:

Options: is something a client requests the router to do
Details: is something the router provides to the client

No: see above

So why is there Hello.Details in the basic profile specification and Hello.Options in the advanced profile specification? Seems contradictory.
