Stream: FHIR at Scale (FAST): Exchange with/without intermediaries
Topic: Forwarding headers question
Rick Hawes (Sep 15 2021 at 14:02):
Hello, this is my first post on this forum. I have two questions/suggestions dealing with the options that use headers.
For the two intermediaries scenario, there is an option that uses HTTP headers, X-Originator and X-Destination, that contain the intermediary information. I'm wondering why instead of defining a new X-Originator header, the standard X-Forwarded https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Forwarded header was considered?
For the single intermediary scenario, no originator header is passed to the final destination. I'm wondering why? Tracking the originator could be important to the destination.
