https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18410 Bug ID: 18410 Summary: Koha should use cool URIs Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Architecture, internals, and plumbing Assignee: gmcharlt@gmail.com Reporter: pablo.bianchi@gmail.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org Right now Koha use a very volatile URI scheme. If we seek having not ephemeral URIs they should be completely different. Take a look to this article from 1998 of a guy called Tim Berners-Lee: "Cool URIs don't change" https://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI A normal Koha URI looks like this: https://catalog.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumbe... This URI is doomed to die in the short term, is not designed thinking in long-term. We have a lot of information about the tools and technical things used to put it there, like "cgi-bin", "koha" and "pl". Is not even consistent about using always en_US (american English): "/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbooks.pl" (cataloguing != cataloging). As the article say we shouldn't forget about domain name. We could encourage the use of more permanent words like "catalog" for the host part of the FQDN. PS: This may be related to the robust RESTful URI. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
