Re: Request for well-known URI: smart-configuration

Apologies for the delay.

Your document says:
  """Contrary to RFC5785 Appendix B.4, the .well-known path component may be appended even if the FHIR endpoint already contains a path component."""

RFC5785 Appendix B and RFC8615 (which obsoletes it) explain that this is bad practice, and not sanctioned use of well-known URIs. See RFC7320 (BCP190) for more information.

As a result, the registration request is denied. If that text is removed from the document, we can reconsider your request.

Additionally, the name "smart-configuration" is very generic; as per 8615, if a well-known resource is specific to an application, it should have a correspondingly specific name (e.g., "hl7-smart-configuration").

I’m making this request on behalf of the HL7 standards development organization in regards to the HL7 FHIR SMART App Launch specification. This implementation guide defines a well-known URI by which an application may discover a FHIR API server’s authorization and launch capabilities.
