Patient Flags Service uses non-existent FHIR resource endpoint

There is no such resource as PatientFlag and no such endpoint is allowed.

Also the mime type specified is wrong for FHIR: application/json. It needs to be application/fhir+json

FHIR can be extended in conformant ways, but not in the way proposed.

But is custom behaviour needed?
This, as proposed: GET /PatientFlag?patient=9449306753

is possible in a FHIR conformant way already by just doing this:
GET /Flag?patient.identifier=9449306753

A working example is here:
e.g. https://server.fire.ly/Flag?patient.identifier=9449306753
(or see this view: https://vhewer.com/?url=https://server.fire.ly/Flag?patient.identifier=9449306753)

If some custom behaviour really is needed (though it seems not), a custom operation would be more appropriate, using the dollar prefix e.g. GET /$PatientFlags
