Hey all,

Building on our previous discussion about the transport layer, we need to start thinking about it interacts with the service layer. I know we want a completely generic HTTP client that can be injected into any service client, but in order for this to work we need to overcome two main issues:

1. How are we going to decorate requests with service-specific data (e.g. baseURLs) before they’re sent to the API?
2. How are we going to handle authentication?

I’ve described the problem and come up with a potential solution here:

https://gist.github.com/jamiehannaford/33113b649545c7a47eb9

The proposal I had in mind would solve both issues and fully decouple the transport layer from any service implementation details. I put it all in a gist because they support markdown :)

This is just a strawman - feel free to respond with any improvements or alternatives you may have!

Jamie
