Ralf Handl commented on ODATA-263:
----------------------------------

I expect to get all properties and navigation properties when I specify no $select

>                 Key: ODATA-263
>                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-263
>             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: OData ABNF Construction Rules v1.0, OData URL Conventions v1.0
>    Affects Versions: WD01
>         Environment: [Proposed]
>            Reporter: Ralf Handl
>             Fix For: WD01
>
>
> The URL conventions state that 
>     If the selectItem is a star, then all properties and navigation properties on the matching resources MUST be returned.
> This conflicts with the JSON format which by default does not return navigation properties and only includes them when odata.metadata=full is requested.
> The recent enhancements to $expand which allows nesting e.g. a $select further reduces the need for $select=*, so it's best to remove it altogether.
