Kim Shepherd commented on DS-685:
---------------------------------

+1, though not so much for "security" reasons** as "let's not encourage 
crawlers to find links that might reference restricted bistreams" reasons. ;-)


** (anyone with a basic knowledge of XMLUI knows how to construct the 
/metadata/ links, and they're also referenced from the DRI you can see with 
/DRI/ or ?XML, so if exposure of this mets is considered a risk, you basically 
have to restrict it yourself, via sitemap or some other means... and make sure 
OpenSearch still works afterwards)

> In the HTML output of an XMLUI page contains the link to the external 
> metadata mets doc, which could contain information about the item, and 
> bitstreams that the UI is suppressing.

> <!-- External Metadata URL: cocoon://metadata/handle/1842/206/mets.xml--> 
> This is useful to see during development, however, on production systems its 
> unnecessary. If there is a config added to specify that you are in 
> development mode, vs production mode, then that would need to be documented, 
> and added to dspace.cfg
