12:02 mac- hmm
12:02 mac- there are media types that are not text based
12:03 mac- in such cases, it's also possible to include hypermedia controls as a part of the representation metadata
12:03 mac- right?
12:04 mac- but now is my question: how hypermedia controls can be part of representation metadata, when representatoion metadata is a HTML head?
12:04 asdf it's not really hypermedia, if the controls are in the metadata, is it?
12:04 mac- and hypermedia controls are part of HTML body ?
12:04 asdf the non-text-based thing wouldn't be hypermedia, i mean
12:05 mac- as I understand it can be i.e. image/photo
12:05 mac- its binary
12:05 mac- not text
12:05 asdf right
12:05 asdf there's the Link header, but i'm not sure there's much more than that
12:05 mac- uhm
12:06 mac- then you will have in header: Accept: image/png Link: www.sth.com/photos/photo.png
12:06 mac- ?
12:07 asdf it's a response header really... i guess Link: http://blabla.jpg; rel=next_image
12:08 mac- but rel is not part of header ?
12:09 asdf but uh, i suppose it's fine to just have your images be images, not really part of your api? have resources that link to a jpg file and have all the required relations there - /images/123 returns an actual json object that has all the relations etc, but also a link to a static http://.com/blabla.jpg image
12:09 asdf rel is part of the header in this example

12:11 mac- yeah, the resource that map[s to image
12:11 mac- not direct image
12:21 mac- by 'not really part of your api' you mean that I use image contents as several hypermedia controls ?
12:22 mac- it is really abstract but I would get images which shows sth and try to use areas of image as hypermedia conrteols ?
12:23 asdf i mean that the resource contains just a link to the actual image file, and the actual image files are external to it; as you put it, you only have resources that map to images; the actual image files are on a non-restful fileserver, s3, or something
12:23 mac- yep
12:23 asdf the resource that contains the link to the actual image can of course be regular hypermedia, no need to use metadata
12:24 asdf i guess there are image formats that are hypermedia... svg?
12:24 mac- I really don;t know much about different kind of graphics techjnology ;p
12:24 mac- technologies
12:25 mac- but graphics file is one of possible representations of a resource
12:59 mac- but
12:59 mac- but
13:01 mac- by 'there are media types that are not text based' we should understand sth which will replace HTML to not-text based medium?
13:02 mac- hm nope it means that HTML will carry non-text content
13:03 mac- inside which hypermedia controls will be delivered
