Abstract
Methods and systems for obtaining service directory information for a remote service including sending a service endpoint query to a remote service requesting a directory of locations within the service. In response to service endpoint query, obtaining the service directory information includes receiving a service endpoint response from the remote service in response to the service endpoint query when the service endpoint query is successful. The service endpoint response includes a directory length field that indicates a number of directory entries. The service endpoint response also includes one or more directory entries indicating one or more locations with the remote service as numerically limited by the directory length field.
