clarification: canonical (signed) batch job result URL + partial query param?

[soxofaan]

I'm working on crossbackend job execution in aggeragtor (https://github.com/Open-EO/openeo-aggregator/issues/115).

One of the pieces of the current solution we aim for is leveraging "partial" result listings through the partial parameter e.g. /jobs/{job_id}/results?partial=true. However we also require signed URLs through a "canonical" link in /jobs/{job_id}/results, e.g. possibly https://whatever.com/azerty123 (where the azerty123 is an opaque blob that securely can be resolved to the original batch job result listing)

It is not completely clear how the partial=true should be included in the signed URL: should it be encoded automatically in the opaque blob, or should the user add it explicitly, e.g. https://whatever.com/azerty123?partial=true?

I guess it's the former, but we might have to clarify that a bit .

E.g. current description state:

It is strongly recommended to add a link with relation type canonical, which points to this STAC document using a signed URL. This way the STAC metadata can be used by non-openEO clients without additional authentication steps.

e.g.

... which points to this STAC document (including all query parameters like partial) using a signed URL...

~Yeah, that makes sense to me, too.~
