Presence of both access_id and access_url in a response

[hannes-ucsc]

I interpret this clause of the spec

data-repository-service-schemas/openapi/data_repository_service.swagger.yaml

Line 343 in 2425439

Note that at least one of `access_url` and `access_id` must be provided.

to mean that having both access_id and access_url in a response is acceptable. Is that the case?

If so, what is the point of providing an access ID and following it in a separate request, when a URL is already available?

[trbica]

Providing both access_id and access_url in a response is misleading for DRS API client and is not aligned with Fetching DRS Objects section. DRS API client MUST only work with access_url to access DRS object content.
I would also like to hear more about resolving this as it is creating issues on the consumer side.

I would argue the documentation that @hannes-ucsc points explicitly states that both are legitimate. Also, for signed URLs, then you would definitely not use access_url

[hannes-ucsc]

I'd consider the possibility that the phrase "at least one of" was a mistake and that the intent was "either one of".

[nmalfroy]

Yeah, I agree...it appears that this may be a bug in the spec wording...which would then break our implementation
