i have a situation where i want to pass in an arbitrary sized list of resource identifiers to my backend service, and i would like it to send back a list of resources from those ids |
| 14:34 |
|
mzarella |
i have considered using a GET request appending each item in in a query param, but is this appropriate? |
| 14:34 |
|
mzarella |
what is the maximum length of query params you can have? |
| 14:34 |
|
mzarella |
or what is the maximum string size a query param? |

i'm not creating resource, i'm simple requesting a lot of them |

simply |

i would put the list of resource identifiers in the body, but a stackoverflow post mentioned this shoudn't be done |

RFC 2616 (Hypertext Transfer Protocol — HTTP/1.1) states there is no limit to the length of a query string (section 3.2.1). |
| 14:37 |
|
mzarella |
so is the query param the best way to do this? |
| 14:56 |
|
mdk |
mzarella: there IS a limit in length in the implementations of HTTP servers |
| 14:56 |
|
mdk |
mzarella: but giving "?thing_ids=1,2,3,4,5,6" looks legit to me |
| 14:57 |
|
mzarella |
i'll go with this until there's a problem |
| 14:58 |
|
mzarella |
probably better to use websockets at some point |
| 14:58 |
|
mzarella |
thanks for responding mdk |
| 14:58 |
|
mdk |
mzarella: you may also enforce a known and documented limit like 100 items, forcing the clients to "paginate" |
| 15:00 |
|
mdk |
If your ids are integers you may introduce ranges like ?thing_ids=1..1000 but I don't like it (still don't know why) |
