The http semantics for 202 Accepted might be another option. It defers processing until later.

We currently propose 2.07 to be added to signal the no-data subscription response. It could be semantically aligned with HTTP or we could have it mean exactly what we want it to mean.

A broker can always offer the multipart format as an alternate way to interact if we want to allow both. If the client sends multipart in the accept header the server could signal no data through the content format.

Could we allow the client to choose content-centric signaling through content negotiation?

Best regards,

Michael

PS Sending an empty payload might work for some formats, and in some libraries, e.g. with senml+json [] or cbor x80, but it doesn't seem reliable for all possible formats.
