Receiver expectations for Transmitter's "default_subjects" advertised in well-known discovery endpoint #192

Closed xtrycatchx closed 4 months ago

Is it safe to assume these?

Transmitter discovery	Receiver behaviour
`default_subjects: ALL`	by default will receive all events without the need to invoke addsubject-endpoint
`default_subjects: NONE`	will not receive events. need to invoke addsubject-endpoint for subject of interest
no `default_subject` from discovery metadata	the same behaviour as `default_subjects: NONE`

tnx

The first two rows are correct. However, if there is no default_subject in the metadata, then the behavior is undefined and you should contact the owner of the Transmitter to determine the expected behavior.
