Abstract: Systems, devices, and techniques described herein are directed to device service capability discovery. An initiating user equipment (UE) can transmit a request to establish a communication session (e.g., a voice call, a video call, etc.) with a destination UE.

Thus, capability information for a plurality of features can be determined in parallel with establishing a communication between an initiating UE and a destination UE. In some cases, an initiating UE can receive an error message in response to signaling to establish the communication session, in which case the initiating UE can update capability information associated with the destination UE.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a gateway application generates an outgoing Hypertext Transmission Protocol (HTTP) request based on an incoming HTTP request. In operation, the gateway application receives the incoming HTTP request and identifies an upstream service based on at least one of an HTTP method and a header included in the incoming HTTP request.

Finally, the gateway application issues the outgoing HTTP request. The outgoing HTTP request causes the upstream service to perform an action requested in the incoming HTTP request. Advantageously, the gateway application enables underlying upstream services to perform actions specified via incoming HTTP requests without directly exposing the upstream services to users.
