Description

The definition of effective request URI currently treats "*" like "/". We need to confirm this is ok.

Why doesn't it just say that "*" refers to the server as a whole rather than a specific resource?

comment:3 Changed 11 years ago by julian.reschke@…

we may want to actually define a URI for presenting that request-target, such as

​http://host/.well-known/*

comment:4 Changed 11 years ago by julian.reschke@…

This issue is actually about the abstraction an intermediary uses; they can not assume that the Effective Request URI can be blindly passed from the server to the client.

TODO: check current uses of e-r-u to see whether it needs to allow the OPTIONS-* case.

From [1582]:

Finish work on message routing by cleaning up the process of determining an effective request URI and removing the now redundant old stuff about "The Resource Identified by a Request". Related to #222
