Description

Hi! On http://www.openxcap.org/wiki/Installation and http://www.openxcap.org/wiki/Running you state that by using eyebeam the XCAP URI should be "http://example.com/xcap-root@domain/"

But his is wrong and does not work. Reviewing the source code I found out that the proper syntax is: http://example.com/@domain/xcap-root/

I am using version 0.9.9

Hi,

The documentation is correct. The problem in your case was that you were probably using 'http://example.com' as XCAP root in OpenXCAP's configuration file, instead of 'http://example.com/xcap-root'. The convention for eyebeam is that the domain must be specified in the last path segment of the XCAP root, in that case xcap-root, so eyebeam should be provisioned with 'http://example.com/xcap-root@domain'. According do the standards, the username and domain SHOULD be given in username@domain format later in the URI, but eyebeam only sends the username so there's no way to get the domain in a multi-domain setup unless we use a convention like that.

I've asked about this on Counterpath's forums but with no answer: http://support.counterpath.com/viewtopic.php?p=36780&highlight=&sid=c44d555525d5be4c2bbf1caab157f2e2#36780

Thanks.
