POST request with paging FHIR bundle

Question

Question

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a strategy for dividing a large FHIR message, in a post request, into smaller parts.

I have found the paging modifier for the GET request, but not a similiar one for the POST request. Maybe the 'batch' type of a Bundle could help me to indicate this aim but there aren't any attribute to say the total or the i-th element.

Do you know of any method for implementing 'paging' in a post request?

Ciao Ilenia,

what kind of single FHIR resource is so large so that you need to split it?

If there are multiple resources, then you can post them individually.

Ciao Enrico, grazie.

I need to receive a POST with a Bundle message that may be very large and unpredictable in size. If I choose to ask the client to send me several messages that belong to the same topic, can I track "how many pieces" the message was split into?
Thanks :)
