Subject: [PATCH GSoC v2 5/6] serve: advertise type capability
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 21:49:38 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260731-objecttype-support-v2-5-af577461ed57@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260731-objecttype-support-v2-0-af577461ed57@gmail.com>
The server and the client can handle type requests but the client won't
ask for it until the server advertises it.
Add type to the advertised capabilities so the client knows that it can
request it.
