Is it normal that Main UI is requesting the list of sitemaps ?

[lolodomo]

Enabling the DEBUG logs for sitemap REST API, I discovered that opening Main UI in a browser, this API is called. Its role is to retrieve the list of available sitemaps. I am just curious why Main UI is doing that while it does not play at all with sitemaps ?

https://github.com/openhab/openhab-core/blob/main/bundles/org.openhab.core.io.rest.sitemap/src/main/java/org/openhab/core/io/rest/sitemap/internal/SitemapResource.java#L245

Maybe for the sitemap generator ?

Not for the sitemap generator.
But it looks like it is used to check if an access token is required:

openhab-webui/bundles/org.openhab.ui/web/src/js/openhab/auth.js

Line 91 in 8779dcf

return api.get('/rest/sitemaps').then((resp) => {

Yeah, the comment says that.
I think /rest/sitemaps was chosen because its response is relatively small, e.g. compared to /rest/items.

I will close this issue now.
