Overdue Action Items

DKA: a few AI needs to be retired

<noah> ACTION-390?

<trackbot> ACTION-390 -- Daniel Appelquist to review ISSUE-58 and suggest next steps -- due 2010-10-18 -- OPEN

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/actions/390

DKA: we need to figure out how to make progress on this issue

<Larry> issue-59 is related to deep linking

Yves: There was a discussion after Wilileaks denial of service. Is this related to such resilience issues?

<Larry> taking the direction on ISSUE-58 like "deep linking", we could document what we know about the issue and what the considerations are, and write a "best practices" around it

<Zakim> ht, you wanted to talk about w3c persistent resources

DKA: agree that it makes sense

<jar> ... and P2P HTTP

<Larry> or even a blog post

ht: we can have a slot even a small one on that topic of the f2f, I made an XML Catalog and handed that over to the systeam, need to track progress there.

<Zakim> Larry, you wanted to suggest a "note"

we can ask Ted Guild to join for a few minutes on that topic

Larry: it is appropriate to do a note, a blog post or something like that to close the action (re: issue-58)

Noah: we don't have consensus yet on the resolution

<Larry> I think it's possible to document the divergent opinions and note that there isn't consensus, and that doing so is a valuable exercise

DKA: if we can't agree during the f2f on progress there, we should drop it.

Larry: I disagree that we need consensus on solutions to make progress on documenting the problem and possible solutions

<DKA> I could change the name of the action to "write up a problem statement definition draft" prior to the f2f.

<noah> ACTION-439?

<trackbot> ACTION-439 -- Daniel Appelquist to introduce signature-based approaches to access control -- due 2010-10-14 -- OPEN

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/actions/439

Larry: it's the same issue in "Mime and the Web", not sure about solutions, but it's valuable to outline the issues

<Larry> +1 DKA if you would do so

DKA: action 439 should be dropped

<noah> close ACTION-439

<trackbot> ACTION-439 Introduce signature-based approaches to access control closed

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/actions/488

DKA: we should convert this action to a concrete one on API minimization

Noah: if we decide to do a more general finding on web apps API then we should keep this one

DKA: After Lyon's meeting, I think that we need to work on smaller issues

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/actions/489

<Larry> i think this is subsumed by privacy actions

DKA: might be linked to action-509, so we should close 489

Larry: the problems that evercookie explore are not covered by web architecture

like cleaning local storage for cookies

Noah: how about client-side storage work from Ashok?
... Evercookie is client-side storage

Larry: it's not explicit client-side storage, as it uses fingerprinting
... we need to make sure that client-side storage work mention evercookie

Web Application State

everybody read this week or last week's version of the document

http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2011/01/HashInURI-20110115

Ashok: I will work on Yves' comment on the next version of the document.
... We need to work on what we want to recommend
... actually sections 4 and 5

Noah: it would be great to discuss the pro and cons of the two main solutions

Ashok: when I asked why they were using one solution r the other, I got back "it's how they did it" as a reply

Noah: we might change the title of the document as mentionning the hash sigh seems like implementation detail

Larry: wondering if we are looking at this through the right side of the telescope. We need to say "how do you design an app that will use URIs in a meaningful way"

from the point of view, not of the user, but of the implementer.

Noah: in agreement
... things like being able to email an URI that will convey the right meaning in the context of email and not the JS program

The document should answer questions like when to use # sign or ?

Larry: as a user you don't have the choice, it's the app designer who make this decision

<Zakim> ht, you wanted to try to uplevel even further

ht: we might go even higher up. People are building application for web brwosers to have apps on the desktop. The crucial bit of advice is about choosing uri for wide use. But it's also possible to have names that are not used for wide distributon

<noah> HT: Not all of these names are meant for wide use

<noah> Google maps names >are< intended for wide use

ht: ex, in emacs, my message number are local only
... the fact that web software make easy to create uris for that is generating the issue, like using numbering that is not meant for broadcast

Yves: Responding to Larry's point on talking to designers. My note talked in part about implementation details such as ability to push something into a CDN because you used #, has an impact.
... I agree we need high level views, but implementation details are important too

Ashok: I had a paragraph related to the CNN use case where they create private URIs

<Zakim> noah, you wanted to say I want to emphasize names that are meant for wide use

<Ashok> Noah: yes, some states/URIs are private but sometimes these are used in other contexts ... so be careful

Noah: while application can have pprivate state changes, it may be an issue that apps are choosing private URIs for things that needs a wider audience, like email identifier

<Zakim> johnk, you wanted to wonder whether we should include the usage of # to hide metadata from the Referer usage in this document?

<johnk> http://waterken.sourceforge.net/web-key/#where

john: value before the # can be used for ACL and value after the # can be used locallly as not sent to the server

<johnk> example URI: <https://www.example.com/app/#mhbqcmmva5ja3>

Noah: Ashok, will you rearrange all the architectural questions? (general ones and ones under the CNN example)

Ashok: will work on that

<Ashok> I agree

Noah: between sections 3 and 4 would be ideal

Ashok: I will write (at worst possible changes, if not all changes) before the f2f

<Ashok> Yves, comments most welcome

<noah> ACTION-481 Due 2011-03-01

<trackbot> ACTION-481 Update client-side state document with help from Raman due date now 2011-03-01

Yves: In MediaFragment, If you're using # for video addressing, you're implying the secondary is part of the primary

<noah> Doesn't that actually depend on the media type registration for the video type?

<ht> http://www.example.org/tool?param=7 is _intimately_ related to http://www.exmaple.org/tool !

<Zakim> ht, you wanted to disagree with Yves!

Ashok: I mentionned issues with relations to byte ranges as well

Yves: In the case of ?, the with-parameter version has nothing to do with the w/o the parameter version, for the client

HT: Did you mean that in the ? mark case the resources have nothing to do with each other?

Yves: Yes

ht: there is a difference between being 'by the book' not related and the reality, like http://www.example.com/USA/ma/bos/xxx and http://www.example.com/USA/ma/bos

Larry: what would be the relation there?

ht: it identifies a parameter function

Larry: which things are generic to URIs and which things are http-related?

<noah> So http://example.org/stuffcontainer?thingid={GUID} is bad practice? I don't believe that.

<noah> The point of this example is that GUID1 and GUID2 might denote quite unrelated resources.

<Larry> does this apply only to "http:" or to all URIs?

<Larry> there is a relationship between scheme://host/path and scheme://host/path?query in that the query can be created by a form with scheme://host/path as the target

<ht> As far as I am concerned, I thought the http spec. _did_ enforce that foo.html?a=b and foo.html?c=d and foo.html all are handled by the same 'resource'. . .

noah: my concern is that using '#' sign is not a indication that it's a part of the resource without the '#' sign

<Larry> note that mime-web-info talks about defining fragment identifiers....

Yves: My comment was on the media fragments, and in that specific case there are some loose ends on media type registration
