Topic: GET /[type]? vs GET /[type]/_search?
Igor Sirkovich (Mar 11 2016 at 19:26):
Hello, I would like to confirm my understanding that GET "/[type]/_search?" is equivalent to GET "/[type]?". After looking at http://hl7.org/implement/standards/fhir/http.html, our developers got an impression that "/[type]?" is used with GET while "/[type]/_search?" is used with POST. However, both work well with GET on the reference servers. Once confirmed, I'm going to open a change request to clarify this at http://hl7.org/implement/standards/fhir/http.html (2.1.0.14 search & 2.1.0.22 Summary) and http://hl7.org/implement/standards/fhir/search.html (2.1.1.2 Introduction).

We're deprecating _search for get, but the servers still support it for legacy reasons

Thank you so much Graeme!

Maybe we should start removing that support to make this clearer?
Grahame Grieve (Mar 14 2016 at 20:01):
I thought we had
Ewout Kramer (Mar 14 2016 at 20:04):
I mean from our servers ;-)
Grahame Grieve (Mar 14 2016 at 20:12):
ah ok

And return a BadRequest with OperationOutcome that tells you what to do...
