2.1.5 Section 4.1 Header Content-Type

  • Article

The specification states the following:

 Responses MUST include the odata.metadata parameter to specify the amount of metadata 
 included in the response.

OData in the specified Microsoft implementations (section 1.3) partially supports this feature. The format parameter is named "odata" and has values "minimalmetadata", "fullmetadata", and "nometadata".

Section 4.1 of the specification also states the following:

 Responses MUST include the IEEE754Compatible parameter if Edm.Int64 and Edm.Decimal numbers 
 are represented as strings.

OData in the specified Microsoft implementations (section 1.3) does not support this feature. The IEEE754Compatible format parameter is never set on the response, although Edm.Int64 and Edm.Decimal numbers are always represented as strings.

Section 4.1 of the specification also states the following:

 Requests and responses MAY add the odata.streaming parameter with a value of true or false, 
 see section Payload Ordering Constraints.

OData in the specified Microsoft implementations (section 1.3) partially supports this feature. The name of the type parameter is "streaming" rather than "odata.streaming". For normative variations of payload ordering constraints, see section 2.1.7.
