HTTP mapping: "to"
Hey Alan, in 6.3 you added a clarification for the request link addresses.
The example enumeration items could use a few more words for clarity.
I don’t think we should be too specific or even prescriptive here, but the case that also seems worth mentioning is where the “to” address is /foo/bar/baz and the container only knows about a node at address /foo.
In the HTTP case, it’ll be useful for there to be a longest prefix match that matches the “to” address to the /foo node and the remaining dispatch work of what /bar/baz means happens inside the node implementation.
Since that’s all about dispatch mechanics, it’s nothing we should be making conformance rules about, but I think it’ll help implementers.
Cheers Clemens
