[gtld-tech] Question about the ICANN RDAP Profile

[Brian Mountford]

ICANN folks,

I am working on implementing the required remarks and notifications for
truncate RDAP responses. I see the following in the RDAP Profile document (
https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/rdap-operational-profile-2016-07-26-en
):

1.4.8. Truncated RDAP responses MUST contain a *notices* member describing
the reason of the truncation. The *notices* object type MUST be of the form
"Response truncated due to {authorization|load|unexplainable reason}".

1.4.9. Truncated RDAP objects MUST contain a *remarks* member describing
the reason of the truncation. The *remarks* object type MUST be of the form
"Result set truncated due to {authorization|load|unexplainable reason}".
Something doesn't seem right to me. 1.4.9 requires a remark saying "Result
set truncated", as if that was used when returning result sets that contain
fewer results than there actually are because of sizing limits. But then
that should be a notice, because it happens globally for the response. And
yet it refers to "truncated RDAP objects" rather than result sets.

Is it possible that you got the text confused, and that truncated result
sets have a notice of the form "Result set truncated ...", while truncated
objects have a remark of the form "Response truncated ..."?

If that's not what's going on, can you elaborate with a couple examples? I
can't figure out how it would work. Thanks.

Brian
