Topic: Relative URL format
Danielle Friend (May 01 2019 at 19:19):
Should relative URLs start with a slash? Ex: "/Patient/123" or "Patient/123"?
In the examples on this page the url is "Patient/123": https://www.hl7.org/fhir/references.html

In the definition, the url is defined as "/[type]/[id]": https://www.hl7.org/fhir/references-definitions.html#Reference.reference

I'd say should not start with a slash: they are relative to the FHIR base, not to the root of site
Lloyd McKenzie (May 01 2019 at 19:25):
Agree there should be no slash. @Danielle Friend can you submit a change request to fix the definition?
Danielle Friend (May 01 2019 at 19:30):
@Lloyd McKenzie sure can.

Hi,
I want to change the URL format in FHIR data output as it is containing all URL information.
Can anyone suggest how to do that in FHIR server settings.
Thanks.

@sayan samanta That question is probably best asked using the support channels of the vendor of your FHIR server (of which there are many). This forum is (officially) vendor-agnostic, although one tends to find representatives of all sorts of product companies on this forum.
