Thanks Mike, Also sorry, I still not 100% sure I get the full picture With $select=streamProperty1 the client is stating that the stream property should be included in-line as described in Format section 9 I streamProperty1 is not mentioned in the $ select (e.g. $select=prop1, prop2 ) the stream property is not included in the response (guessing) if there is no $select it is up to the service to include it in-line or not, correct? A URL ending in .../ streamProperty1/$value will return the stream value as an octet stream (I assume with the mediaContentType metadata in the header) Christof From: Michael Pizzo <

Christof 11.2.5.1 System Query Option $select The $select system query option requests that the service return only the properties, dynamic properties, actions and functions explicitly requested by the client. The service returns the specified content, if available, along with any availabl e expanded navigation or stream properties
