Replying to Avatar Pip the WoT guy

I have to decide on how to handle this edge case in the rely framework I am building:

1. a client sends a REQ

2. a client sends an EVENT that matches the REQ

Should I return the event or not? The following is a screenshot of a khatru relay, that returns the event.

#asknostr

I think there is a real world pattern in support of returning it: a lot of people follow themselves to have feedback on whether their posts were successfully stored on the relay.

It seems a bit wasteful, no? The "OK" reply with the true value is already a signal to the client that the event was stored.

I don't always return it, I return it only when the client has a REQ that matches it. It is more wasteful, but It's more important to match the user's expectations
