XRI Resolution allows you to perform a detailled resolution operation on an XRI, giving you complete control over every aspect. The first and most important choice here is whether to only resolve the authority part of the XRI, or also select the appropriate service endpoint(s) from the final authority. Service endpoint selection uses three bits of information: The path (local part) of the XRI, a service type and a media type. All of them are optional, and most XRIs are configured to have a "default" service.

"Result Type" lets you determine in which format you want the results:

• XRDS will give you an XML document containing all authorities that were encountered during the resolution process. This gives you the most detailled information.
• XRD in contrast is an XML document which only describes the final authority.
• URI(s) is only available when service endpoint selection is used and displays a list of URIs which make up the selected service. This is most useful if you are interested in how your XRI reacts to certain requests.

The resolver can be set to use the XRI trust mechanisms https and/or SAML.

As explained above, you can specify a service type and/or media type, which will be used for service endpoint selection in addition to the XRI path.

Finally, it is possible to perform the whole resolution process via an external proxy, instead of using @freeXRI's internal resolver.

If an error occurs during resolution, an appropriate message is displayed.
