Doc Text:	The "All-Content" header has been added for GET requests in the REST API. This header defines whether the entity fetched contains all possible information or only basic information. For example, a request to fetch virtual machines with the "All-Content:false" header will ignore payload and ballooning information.	Story Points:	---

Description Michael Pasternak 2012-10-21 10:15:23 UTC

Description of problem:

some resource properties fetched using dedicated backend query,
by default api should not display these properties (unless user explicitly
asked to show them) to ease on backend/minimise traffic.

Comment 1 Ori Liel 2012-11-05 08:38:00 UTC

Patch posted upstream: 

  http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/9018/1


Notice that by design, update (PUT) and create (POST) of entities will still always return the full entity, regardless of the new header. GET of a single resource or multiple resources is what's affected by the new header.

Patch abandoned in favor of another approach, new patch posted:

Comment 3 Michael Pasternak 2013-01-21 11:05:03 UTC
