Hi, In draft-softgear-core-coapa-00, a simple ASCII encoding for CoAP messages using base64url is described. This looks straight forward and useful, so I will definitely give it a try. One thing is still unclear to me: Given I want to contact an ASCII-only node (e.g. a sensor listed in my home's RD), where do I know that I need to encode the request in CoAP/A? (Or, when using transcoding proxies, where does the proxy know that it has to encode/decode the message?) Gruesse Olaf
