Server ignoring representation metadata

Open ioggstream opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Question

The consequences of a server ignoring representation metadata are not clear to me. Is this related to the fact that they are associated with the upload resource? OTOH, Content-Type and Content-Encoding are associated with the target resource.

Server MAY interpret this metadata or MAY ignore it.

Then, we have:

The server SHOULD respect representation metadata received during creation
