Hi

I have one basic question. Redfish suggests to have Rest URL in the below format

http://localhost/redfish/v1/Systems/{ID}/SimpleStorage/

But if we see the odata V4 url conventions it will not support pathvariable like below and it handles the requests in the below format

http://localhost/redfish/v1/Systems('ID')/SimpleStorage/

So, we should explicitly convert the Redfish URL to Standard OData URL convention in our code ? Or i would like to know if OData Implementation api supports Pathvariables ?

Regards,
Sagar

In the Redfish spec, we're purposefully silent on any "recommended format" (although all of our mockups do use that first format). The reason being is we want to give implementations the flexibility in terms of their URI scheme. Some implementations may need to be used in a more OData-centric environment and should call for the second format. However, there are other standards to consider (such as OpenAPI/Swagger) where the first format may better suit and implementation.
