Capability Statements
This section describes the expected capabilities of the CA:FeX server. The complete list of FHIR resources, RESTful interactions, and search parameters supported by CA:FeX server are defined below.
CA:FeX Server RESTful Capabilities
The CA:FeX Server SHALL:
- Support the Patient resource.
- Support at least one additional resource from the list of CA:FeX resources (listed in the next section).
- Implement the RESTful behavior according to the FHIR specification.
- Follow the requirements documented in the Conformance Requirements and Must Support page.
- Support JSON source formats for all CA:FeX interactions.
The CA:FeX Server SHOULD:
- Support XML source formats for all CA:FeX interactions.
Security:
- See the General Security section for requirements and recommendations.
- A server SHALL reject any unauthorized requests by returning an HTTP 401 "Unauthorized", HTTP 403 "Forbidden", or HTTP 404 "Not Found" (for details please refer to the Response Handling page)
