[rest-practices] Relative uris

[Sergey Beryozkin]

Hi

you might want adding xml:base attributes then. For example if it were an atom feed containing the relative link URIs then a generic reader may be able to recognize xml:base and properly construct an absolute URI. Json data may indeed contain a base attribute (as opposed to element) too....

You might also want to check how relative URIs with/without xml:base are supported by browsers, ex, in cases where an HTML-based representation is returned. I think I might've heard people saying it depends on the concrete browser implementations.

cheers, Sergey

You're marshalling objects over QMF which contain URIs into the REST
API?

You'd probably be better with absolute URIs for that, but you could
include the entry point URI somehow so that relative URIs could be
resolved.

Cheers,
Mark.
