== Abstract ==
Alternative to PaceRequestURI that uses a pub:control element to allow a
client to request a path segment for a entry
== Status ==
Proposal
== Rationale ==
Many existing weblog software implementations allow clients to request
specific path segments for entries. APP should also support this capability
== Proposal ==
11.2.2 The "pub:basename" Element
When posting an atom:entry to a collection in order to add a new member,
a client may include a pub:basename element. This constitutes a request
by the client that the URI assigned to the new resource incorporate the
specified path segment. The value of the pub:basename element MUST
conform to the path-rootless construction as defined in [RFC3986].
Collections MAY take the value into account when generating a new
member's URI. For example, a typical application would be an APP server
which uses dates to construct part of the URI path, e.g.
"http://example.com/pub/2006/01/10";, but which allows clients to specify
the last part of the URI path. Implementors should note that path
values consisting of multiple segments (e.g. "pub/2006/01/10/cats") are
likely not to be as widely supported as single segment values (e.g.
"cats"). URI delimiters included in the value MUST be iterpreted as
delimiters and are not to be escaped by the server.
{Add pub:basename to the pub:control definition in section 11.2}
{{{
pubControl =
element pub:control {
atomCommonAttributes,
pubDraft?,
pubBasename?,
& extensionElement
}
pubDraft =
element pub:draft { "yes" | "no" }
pubBasename =
element pub:basename { path-rootless }
}}}
And change the following from 11.2: "The "pub:control" element MAY
contain exactly one "pub:draft" element as defined here, and MAY contain
zero or more extension elements..." to "The "pub:control" element MAY
contain exactly one "pub:draft" element, MAY contain exactly one
"pub:basename" element, and MAY contain zero or more extension elements..."
