Get recursive list of documents in a folder with REST

I would like to do something like:

http://localhost:8080/dctm-rest/repositories/<docbase>/folders/0b024d06800654e7/documents?recursive=true

However, it doesn't seem that "recursive" is an option for that link relation. How is this supposed to be done?

I don't want to use DQL in this particular case since I need a document result state so that I can then get the content of the document.

It also seems very inefficient to have to drill down the folder hierarchy with multiple requests. I know there must be a way to do it but I'm just not very versed and there is not much to go on in the way of docs.

I suppose I could get the r_object_id in the dql query and then do another request for the document itself, though that doesn't seem right either. Is that my only option?

I'm just building a simple page with a table of documents, something like:

Header 1	Header 2	Header 3	Header 4	Header 5
object_name	attribute	attribute	attribute	attribute

Where the object_name column is a link to the content.

My thinking is that I will query for the r_object_id of the folder and then get a recursive list of documents below that folder. Unfortunately, the folder has many levels of subfolders making it impractical to do multiple requests. An object_name link is just a click event that does another xhr request using the document rel link for contents.
