Topic: Question re: $lookup
Bob Dolin (May 31 2019 at 00:07):
I'm curious why the codesystem $lookup operation doesn't reflect back the code in the request. In the example (http://build.fhir.org/codesystem-operation-lookup.html#examples), a lookup of LOINC 1963-8 returns the attached JSON. What if I submitted two requests in rapid succession?
{
"resourceType" : "Parameters",
"parameter" : [
{
"name" : "name",
"valueString" : "LOINC"
},
{
"name" : "version",
"valueString" : "2.48"
},
{
"name" : "display",
"valueString" : "Bicarbonate [Moles/volume] in Serum"
},
{
"name" : "abstract",
"valueString" : "false"
},
{
"name" : "designation",
"part" : [
{
"name" : "value",
"valueString" : "Bicarbonate [Moles/volume] in Serum"
}
]
}
]
}

Would either be on different connections, or you are using HTTP/2.0 which handles that internally
Grahame Grieve (May 31 2019 at 00:38):
(or you are not using HTTP correctly)
Bob Dolin (May 31 2019 at 00:40):
Not using HTTP in this case, just looking at the response, wondering why it doesn't reflect back the requested code.
Grahame Grieve (May 31 2019 at 00:40):
because there's no need - the client knows what it asked for
Bob Dolin (May 31 2019 at 00:43):
ok, thanks Grahame

technically, there's no need, but it would hardly hurt & could help "batch" lookups (if there were such a thing)
