It's not only a valid usage of accept, it's simply necessary; you can't possibly process a request for a version of a response without assuming the request contains the necessary information said response requires. If you do

An open market requires choice, including the choice for closed appliances. As long as alternatives exist, there's nothing wrong with closed platforms, those who want choice have Droid. Open devices and software come at a cost, they

I didn't say that, I said they love the standard experience, and that standard experience is enabled by making the phone an appliance that isn't meant to be hacked on or tampered with, i.e. those things. They are not personal com

That's not user hostile, that's user friendly, those things enable them to delivery a standard experience (something you cannot get on a droid) on their appliance to users who by the way love the shit out of them for how well thei

Oh I agree, you should support them as long as you reasonably can if their business justifies the expense and complexity of maintaining multiple versions. At some point it eventually won't, and that's when you force them to upgra

Fair point; I still say if you're requesting version 5 response then the server can interpret the request as version 5 as well and act accordingly, they're necessarily linked regardless of the Accept header being about the respons

If the client knows the version to send, they can send a different request format as well and you'll know how to interpret it due to the version header; that header isn't just used for the response, it's an agreement about wh

Yes but food for example is a thing markets work great on, there's pricing transparency and it's easy to switch suppliers and shop for better prices. The same cannot be said for healthcare for example where it's pretty clear

You'll be waiting possible forever, clients tend to not change until forced to.

A different version is just a different representation of the same resource, the Accept header is the correct way to do it.

It's not about the newest number being the best number, it's simply an older number that changes our idea of the timeline. So yes, it there is validity in it because it's "new" data that differs from our existing d

Never had a problem; provable skills nearly always trump a degree in tech. What you mean is good luck getting a job with no experience without a degree.
