draft-ietf-core-uri-path-abbrev
URI-Path abbreviation in CoAP
Applications built on CoAP face a conflict between the technical need
for short message sizes and the interoperability requirement of
following BCP190 and thus using (relatively verbose) well-known URI
paths. This document introduces a CoAP option that allows expressing
well-known URI paths in as little as two bytes.
Negotiating the use of this option between client and server revealed
a subtle flaw in RFC7252. This document updates RFC7252 to rectify
it, thus making the extension point of critical options more useful.
