With the field you would only need a config option for the RPC interface, and then you'd get everything from it.Thank you for the insight. We have to consider server load, traffic and another feature more or less to maintain on the server side against convenience on the client side. The traffic impact per call would be around a 10 percent gain or more, depending on the length of the name. However, the same could be said about URLPath, it also has only static information that does not change between packages and could be implemented client side.
It will likely be less due to compression. -- Sincerely, Johannes Löthberg PGP Key ID: 0x50FB9B273A9D0BB5 https://theos.kyriasis.com/~kyrias/
