Hello

Following Partha request to change SRS request for metadata snapshot to indicate actual request - current it is done only by Content-type:

Content-Type: application/rs-metadata-request with just simple text in the body.

Do we want to support more extendable mechanism where body will include more generic XML that can also contain for example list of CSs identifiers for which SRS want to receive updates or some other instructions?

pros: it can be useful for RS that includes lots of CS and SRS may have preserved during a failure theirs ids
cons: complication on SRC side and adding requirement to be able to parse XML, can be problematic.

Any opinions?

Regards

Leon
