API Link

Voting Rules

Hi ORWG,

I'd like to formally kick off the voting process for the HTTP Request API.  

Voting Begins: 28 November 2011 5PM EST (1PM PST, 22h00 GMT)  -- Now

Voting Ends: 29 November 2011 5PM EST (1PM PST, 22h00 GMT)

Please review the API documentation and cast your vote!

Hopefully we can get all 4 outstanding APIs to 1.0 State before the mHealth Summit (4 December) :)   Please keep in mind that we will continue to work on the APIs after the current rounds of voting concludes (there's lots of room for a 1.x spec going forward).

Thanks!

Anton

Hi,

What is the reason for not using ISO 8601 for date/time?

I think this should be uniform for all of the standards – in the Metadata schema we have defined it to be ISO 8601.

The text also says date, should it not be date and time?

Best

Jørn

I would guess since this is a HTTP header:

http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec3.3.1

I think this should be uniform for all of the standards – in the Metadata schema we have defined it to be ISO 8601.

It would be valuable if there where proper references to the relevant RFCs/specifications in the api descriptions. And while I am at it, they do need authorative schemas for their xml, as well.

Yep, this is exactly the reason.   We figured it's better to stay with this existing spec than to maintain ISO 8601 uniformity for everything.

Agreed, after voting completes I'll tweak it to point to these specs.

Re: Date

The format is dictated by the HTTP header RFC -- http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html 
-- section 14.18 Date  MUST be sent in RFC 1123 format

Hi, thanx for the explanation on the date! J

 

One thing that seems to be missing in relation to X-OpenRosa-Version is what the request is for. I assume also that the different parts of the standard can be in different versions?

 

Or is that implicitly determined with the URL or having to actually read the first part of the payload? Having to ready the payload seems to be more than really needed to dispatch the request properly.

Hi Jorn - 

To be clear, a -1 should be accompanied by a specific counter proposal, not a list of a questions.
