Hi Wendell,
in our use case, we never work with file extensions in the URI, so we didn’t actually felt that this could be a restriction. Still, I agree that a more powerful path matcher could add flexibility. RESTXQ is still pretty young, so just wait and see how the standard evolves.

Christian,
Ah, how ... non-obvious. "Path segment." :-> (Expecting more flexible string-matching behavior, a la Cocoon sitemaps, I guess I didn't even notice the language saying it wasn't.)
Thanks! I guess I can live with a little working around, if it makes life easier for others.
Cheers, Wendell

Dear Wendell,
declare %restxq:path("test/{$id}.html")
the RESTXQ spec. requires path segments to be either a string (such as "test") or a template (such as {$id}) [1]. If you require the .html suffix, you’ll have to remove it from the assigned variable within your XQuery code:
declare %restxq:path("test/{$id}") ... { replace($id, '.html$', '') }
Hope this helps, Christian

Hitting http://localhost:8984/restxq/test/testing.html, I expect to see "testing" big and bold.
But I see "testing.html".
Any clue as to what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks, Wendell
