[Opensim-dev] REST handlers use partial string matching

[Oren Hurvitz]

I tried to add a REST handler at the endpoint "/assets_exist". It turns out
that I can't do that, because REST handlers are searched using partial
string matches, so servers that don't implement the new handler will
mistakenly choose the "/assets" endpoint instead.

For now, I solved the problem by using a different endpoint:
"/get_assets_exist".

For the future, I think that this should be changed so that only full string
matches work. Otherwise each time a new handler is added it will have to
find an endpoint name that isn't a prefix of any current endpoint -- a
difficult and error-prone task. Before I do that, does anyone know of
endpoints that rely on the current behavior (partial string matches)?
