Looking at the HTTP armory to see what capabilities are available. 14:34:04 jo: Looks to me at first pass that we have an adequate range of HTTP based mechanisms to do that. 14:34:47 jo: Haven't assigned mechanisms for tasks that need to be done.

If the server sends you a style sheet when you're looking for an image, then that's wrong on the server side. 14:53:45 srowen: We've found that mobile browsers don't customize their content type. 14:54:04 srowen: Laurens says this disables some content negotiation. 14:54:37 -> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-bpwg/2007Oct/0020.html end of the relevant thread 14:54:40 srowen: One might want a table instead of a graphic of the table. But to me returning HTML in an image URI for instance isn't done in practice. 14:55:10 q+ 14:55:18 srowen: Two options: reject this comment or modify the document to say that the headers should be right, but might entail another last call. 14:55:31 srowen: Dom doesn't think that changing that would require another last call. 14:55:47 srowen: So I'm kind of in favor of "fixing" this, even though I don't really think it's broken. 14:55:48 ack jo 14:55:49 ack jo 14:56:04 q? 14:56:15 jo: I'm not willing to do another last call on MobileOK... 14:57:13 jo: Every single browser we've looked at sends in some circumstances the entire set of headers. 14:57:29 jo: There is only one browser we've found that restricts it. 14:57:54 q+ 14:58:13 jo: If we didn't specify it the way we do then we wouldn't pick up on erroneous browsers. 14:58:21 ack srowen 14:58:36 jo: Dom's test shows up as completely broken for instance on the webkit browser. 14:58:38 jo: I think there are no grounds for changing this. 14:58:49 srowen: I'm okay with that, but there are a few subtleties. 14:59:03 srowen: but this wasn't a best practice for not doing this, it was unintentional. 14:59:14 srowen: I would like to agree that it would be nice if all browsers customized their accept headers. 14:59:21 srowen: I disagree with his assertion that not doing this is wrong though. 14:59:30 q? 14:59:32 srowen: If we can weave those into the decision I'd agree. 14:59:47 jo: I think we have said consistently all along that these tests aren't about browsers, but about testing the interoperability of servers. 14:59:57 jo: Every other comment on browsers we've said it's not about browsers and their behavior. 15:00:26 srowen: My point was that this is picking up bad server side behavior... 15:00:40 scribenick: SeanPatterson 15:00:43 srowen: I make my resource available as an HTML page or an image, and that could be a problem with some browsers and that this would highlight it. 15:00:50 srowen: It's something we're accidentally testing for. 15:01:06 -Matt 15:01:23 -nacho 15:01:36 Jo: There are lots of things we pick up in the tests either way. 15:01:56 PROPOSED RESOLUTION: we "resolve no" on LC-1859. 15:02:35 PROPOSED RESOLUTION: Resolve 'no' on LC-1859 with apologies. Behavior as specified does not contravene HTTP. In practice, it is consistent with most mobile UAs behavior and is desirable on practical grounds for a tester to emulate. It would be nice if all UAs did in fact tailor their Accept header to the type of resource being requested. 15:03:02 PROPOSED RESOLUTION: Resolve 'no' on LC-1859. Behavior as specified does not contravene HTTP. In practice, it is consistent with most mobile UAs behavior and is desirable on practical grounds for a tester to emulate. It would be nice if all UAs did in fact tailor their Accept header to the type of resource being requested. 15:03:09 DKA: I don't thin we should apologize. 15:03:13 :-) battling resolutions 15:03:38 s/thin/think 15:04:17 PROPSOED RESOLUTION: LC-1859 We don't think that the suggested behaviour is mandated in the HTTP specification or that in our test sample of real browsers any browser other than Firefox actually changes its Accept header in this manner for both CSS and images, the majority do neither. Consequently the document remains as is. It should not be inferred from the way the checker behaves that real browsers either should or should not behave that way. 15:05:15 PROPOSED RESOLUTION: Resolve 'no' on LC-1859. Behavior as specified does not contravene HTTP. In practice, it is consistent with most mobile UAs behavior and is desirable on practical grounds for a tester to emulate. It should not be inferred from the way the checker behaves that real browsers either should or should not behave that way. 15:05:57 Jo: HTTP contains many inconsistencies. 15:06:18 s/HTTP/HTTP spec 15:07:10 Sean: Isn't this what the accept header should be used for 15:07:35 Jo, could you post the URI? 15:07:57 Jo: HTTP spec says that server is no required to pay attention to accept header 15:08:05 q+ 15:08:09 +1 on the last proposed resolution.
