Sluggish member resources
Sylvain pointed out an Ape bug (it was using the old Title header for
media resources) so I reviewed draft-14 and came up with the following.
The definition of "Member Resource" is AWOL (I think someone else may
have caught this); it's used freely, even in defining other terms in
the terminology section (http://bitworking.org/projects/atom/draft-
ietf-atompub-protocol-14.html#terminology). Symptom: I was looking
at the spec for the Slug header (http://bitworking.org/projects/atom/
draft-ietf-atompub-protocol-14.html#rfc.section.9.7) and it says it's
supposed to be used in the member resource URI. Not 100% clear what
that meant in the context of posting a JPEG, I did a browser search
for "Member resource" and it would have been nice to find a crisp
answer near the top of the doc.
Now, the other problem... when I post a JPEG with a Slug header,
where would I like that Slug header used? I think the whole point of
the slug is that you'd like it to appear in URIs people or bots might
actually see it. So I don't think it really matters whether it shows
up in the Media Link Entry URI, it's the Media Resource URI (the
thing that shows up in entry/content@src.
So, I think that a slight revision to really clarify the intent of
Slug might be in order:
Slug is a HTTP entity-header that, when accompanying a POST to a
Collection, constitutes a request by the client that its value be
used as part of any URIs that would normally be used to retrieve
Entry or Media Resources.
