                                        I started playing around with
                                        pulp 3 and generated bindings
                                        via <a href="https://pulp.plan.io/issues/3580" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://pulp.plan.io/issues/35<wbr>80</a>
                                        and it results somewhat in what
                                        you would expect.  Here's an
                                        example:<br>
                                        <br>
                                            # @param id A UUID string
                                        identifying this repository.<br>
                                            # @param [Hash] opts the
                                        optional parameters<br>
                                            # @return [Repository]<br>
                                            def repositories_read(id,
                                        opts = {})<br>
                                              data, _status_code,
                                        _headers =
                                        repositories_read_with_http_in<wbr>fo(id,
                                        opts)<br>
                                              return data<br>
                                            end<br>
                                        <br>
                                        <br>
                                        Notice that the UUID is to be
                                        passed in.  When creating a
                                        repository, i only get the
                                        _href:<br>
                                        <br>
                                        {<br>
                                            "_href": "<a href="http://localhost:8000/pulp/api/v3/repositories/bfc61565-89b1-4b7b-9c4a-2ec91f299aca/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://localhost:8000/pulp/ap<wbr>i/v3/repositories/bfc61565-89b<wbr>1-4b7b-9c4a-2ec91f299aca/</a>",<br>
                                            "_latest_version_href":
                                        null,<br>
                                            "_versions_href": "<a href="http://localhost:8000/pulp/api/v3/repositories/bfc61565-89b1-4b7b-9c4a-2ec91f299aca/versions/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://localhost:8000/pulp/ap<wbr>i/v3/repositories/bfc61565-89b<wbr>1-4b7b-9c4a-2ec91f299aca/versi<wbr>ons/</a>",<br>
                                            "created":
                                        "2018-04-27T15:26:03.546956Z",<br>
                                            "description": "",<br>
                                            "name": "test",<br>
                                            "notes": {}<br>
                                        }<br>
                                        <br>
                                        Meaning, there's really no way
                                        to use this specific binding
                                        with the return format for
                                        pulp.   I imagine most binding
                                        generation would be expecting
                                        the user to know the ID of the
                                        objects and not work off of
                                        _hrefs.  Any reason to not
                                        include the IDs in the response?<br>
