What is the purpose of encoded_request? about opendsr HOT 4 CLOSED

hey @Phlamethrower , the idea behind encoded_request is to have the processor explicitly include the inbound request that they are replying to, this way a controller can always prove that the request was transmitted and confirmed by the processor.

So is it effectively the processor's interpretation of the request? E.g. if the request body contained some extra elements that the processor didn't understand, those would be omitted from the encoded_request in the response? I'm just wondering what the correct way of validating the value would be.

I'm not sure you need to validate it, it was intended more for logging completeness: "Proof" that the processor received the request. You could validate the id and a few fields if you wanted to be super-thorough, but it's not required.

OK, thanks for the explanation!
