RE: [wsrp] Issue #29: Is metadata needed to indicate support forgetResource?
The producer could offer a degraded
representation of the resource say by the convension that the wsrp-url ==
resourceID is formatted as a URL if http, say, is an alternative fallback. And
not rendering the resource is a tactic often encountered on the Web.

I think it is dangerous to suggest an http proxy
request for a resource that specified using getResource is likely (or expected)
to work. The references to state, etc for handling the call are totally
different. Even if the Producer provides a proxy facility for its portlet's
resources, how is the Consumer to know the correct url (either base or format
of a reference or querystring)?

forgetResource (subject)? Forward or backwards
interop can be by degrading the HTML or falling back to HTTP but I would
encourage 2.0 (consumer) implementations to support getResource and 2.0
producers to also provide a 1.0 service.

And vice-versa:  so a producer can adapt to run in a 1.0 consumer.

Issue # 29 

Spec section: 

SubCommittee: Interfaces 

Owner: Andre 

Description: Isn't
metadata needed to tell a Consumer whether or not a Producer supports
getResource (or is it always supported if urls encode for it and Consumers
never invoke it unless a url has encoded wsrp-useOperation=true)?
