Need some clarity about decorating HTTP traffic for rate limiting

[ejschoen]

[Enter feedback here]

The advice in the section "How to decorate your http traffic?" is a bit unclear:

• "Traffic is undecorated if there's no AppID/AppTItle and User Agent string in API calls to SharePoint Online." Does this mean a header with AppID and/or AppTitle? I wonder, because HTTP header convention tends to use dashed names (e.g., App-ID, App-Title) rather than PascalCase (upper camel case) names.
  • Is an AppTitle sufficient (i.e., is one of AppTitle or AppID OK?), and is this matched against the display names of registered apps in the tenant against which the request is authenticated?
• AppName in ISV or Enterprise Application... To what does AppName refer? A display name of an application? Something that can be registered somewhere? Just a random name that Microsoft will refer to in any discussions over rate quota?
