Question: how to get the etag of search results

[jblom]

My client application (Media Suite) retrieves annotations mostly via a search/query call. When the user wishes to delete or update a certain annotation, the client/UI does not have the etag required to do so.

It wouldn't be very nice to have the client first do a GET request to get the annotation's etag and then do a delete or update.

Is there a more direct way to do this or is it necessary to extend the search result data with etag information (which would also be weird because it is part of the response header...)

There is currently no more direct way, I think adding the eTags to the search results (in the body, not the header) would be the preferred way.
