14:06:40 <francois> Topic: Issuing two requests, idempotency, comparison, etc
14:06:55 <francois> -> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-bpwg-ct/2008Apr/0043.html topic
14:07:51 <rob> francois: continuing from last week, what are the dangers of a CT proxy issuing 2 requests and comparing the responses?
14:08:54 <rob> ... obviously unneccessary traffic/congestion should be avoided 
14:09:24 <hgerlach> q+ in about 2 mins
14:09:56 <rob> ... but there could be a case for issuing a 2nd request with altered HTTP headers in the event that the 1st response is somhow not satisfactory
14:10:19 <rob> s/somhow/somehow/
14:10:49 <francois> PROPOSED RESOLUTION 2.1: in §4.1.2, replace "Issue a request with unaltered headers and examine the response (see 4.4 [...])" with "Issue a request with unaltered headers and examine the response to check whether it's a 'request rejected' one"
14:11:29 <rob> q+ to change "request rejected" for "unsatisfactory"
14:11:37 <francois> ack rob
14:11:37 <Zakim> rob, you wanted to change "request rejected" for "unsatisfactory"
14:11:42 <hgerlach> q+
14:15:19 <jo> q+ to say that the reference to 4.4 should stay as it is about determining whether the response is mobile friendly
14:16:25 <francois> ack hgerlach 
14:17:07 <rob> hgerlach: still remind everyone that there are a lot of one-time URLs used on mobile phones
14:18:19 <rob> francois: this "tasting" and possible 2nd request is only used when there is no a-priori knowledge of the server
14:19:09 <rob> so subsequent requests to the same server are already using the a-priori knowledge
14:19:42 <rob> hgerlach: but often discovery is from one server and delivery is from a different server
14:20:17 <francois> ack jo
14:20:17 <Zakim> jo, you wanted to say that the reference to 4.4 should stay as it is about determining whether the response is mobile friendly
14:20:42 <rob> ... in this case there could be issues with the one-time URL on the delivery server that has not been visited before
14:21:07 <SeanP> q+
14:22:26 <francois> ack SeanP 
14:23:37 <rob> seanP: the word "rejected" could be problematic, eg if the HTTP response is 200 OK but we still want something different
14:25:44 <rob> ... eg a smartphone might get a desktop version and we could want to spoof a less-smart mobile to get a more mobile-friendly presentation
14:26:21 <rob> francois: does anyone want to propose more comprehensive text?
14:27:01 <SeanP> q+
14:27:01 <hgerlach> q+
14:27:05 <francois> ack SeanP 
14:27:34 <rob> ... in practice, do CT proxies compare responses from 2 requests and then return whichever they prefer?
14:28:16 <francois> ack hgerlach 
14:28:41 <rob> seanP: currently no, we only make one request, except where the response has alternate links in it which we then follow
14:30:33 <rob> hgerlach: problem is when a CT proxy spoofs a desktop browser 1st - I'd prefer use mobile User-Agent 1st 
14:35:15 <francois> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: at the end of §4.1.2, complete "Not to break existing content, the proxy SHOULD send only one request" with "In particular, it SHOULD NOT issue duplicate requests for comparison purpose as a generic rule."
14:36:36 <SeanP> q+
14:36:50 <rob> jo: where does this go?
14:37:13 <francois> ack SeanP
14:37:13 <rob> francois: replaces editorial note at end of 4.1.2
14:37:54 <rob> seanP: what does the 2nd clause add to the 1st?
14:38:21 <rob> francois: it's an example for emphasis, not a seperate requirement
14:38:57 <rob> jo: prefer to remove "Not to break existing content"
14:39:28 <rob> francois: it is an extract from last week's resolution - but it's in the Editor's hands
14:39:33 <hgerlach> i prefer that what we already have in there in the orig document
14:40:04 <jo> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: Note: CT Prxoies SHOULD avoid sending duplicate requests where [possible and specifically SHOULD NOT send duyplicate requests for comparison purposes only
14:40:21 <francois> +1
14:40:26 <hgerlach> +1
14:40:29 <SeanP> +1

14:41:31 <rob> RESOLUTION: Note: CT Prxoies SHOULD avoid sending duplicate requests where [possible and specifically SHOULD NOT send duplicate requests for comparison purposes only
14:41:58 <hgerlach> q+

14:42:41 <rob> s/[possible/possible/
14:43:08 <francois> ack hgerlach 
14:43:18 <rob> q+ to ask does it have to be 100% clear?
14:43:40 <francois> ack rob
14:43:40 <Zakim> rob, you wanted to ask does it have to be 100% clear?
14:46:18 <jo> ACTION: Jo to propose text for the final part of 4.1.2 taking into account resolutions and discussion on this and the previous call
14:46:18 <trackbot-ng> Created ACTION-752 - Propose text for the final part of 4.1.2 taking into account resolutions and discussion on this and the previous call [on Jo Rabin - due 2008-05-13].
14:46:31 <francois> Topic: Content-types and doctypes
14:46:56 <francois> -> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-bpwg-ct/2008Apr/0045.html Sean's list of content-types
14:47:08 <francois> -> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-bpwg-ct/2008May/0000.html Sean's list of doctypes
14:48:00 <SeanP> q+
14:48:41 <hgerlach> q+
14:49:18 <rob> jo: do we really want to list all this in our document? Especially as Content-Type is such a broken mechanism in practise
14:49:57 <rob> ... <DOCTYPE>s are useful and the list is relatively short
14:49:57 <hgerlach> +1
14:50:16 <francois> ack SeanP
14:51:04 <francois> -> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-bpwg-ct/2008May/0004.html fd's try to rationalize
14:51:10 <rob> seanP: agree with Jo, the Content-Type list is really only examples, it's not complete
14:51:47 <hgerlach> q+
14:52:32 <jo> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: Mention content type as a contributory heuristic (no specific mentions) and list the DOCTYPEs mentioned by Sean in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-bpwg-ct/2008May/0000.html
14:52:37 <francois> ack hgerlach 
14:54:37 <francois> +1
14:54:43 <hgerlach> +1
14:54:46 <SeanP> +1
14:54:47 <rob> +1
14:55:15 <rob> francois: and no-one wants to be more restrictive?
14:55:28 <rob> RESOLUTION: Mention content type as a contributory heuristic (no specific mentions) and list the DOCTYPEs mentioned by Sean in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-bpwg-ct/2008May/0000.html
14:56:27 <francois> Close ACTION-725
14:56:27 <trackbot-ng> ACTION-725 Send a list of content-types for which content transformation applies closed
14:56:35 <francois> Topic: Link element in HTML requests
14:56:53 <francois> <link rel="alternate" media="handheld" type="[content-type]" href="[uri]" />
14:57:57 <jo> q+ to express confusion as to what this convention means
14:58:52 <francois> ack jo
14:58:52 <Zakim> jo, you wanted to express confusion as to what this convention means
14:59:00 <rob> francois: question is if you are the mobile-friendly page, do you link to yourself to show you are the handheld version?
14:59:54 <SeanP> q+
15:00:09 <francois> ack SeanP 
15:01:07 <rob> jo: exactly, it's a useful mechanism to link to more appropriate versions but how can you identify what user-agents THIS version is suitable for? 
15:01:26 <rob> seanP: can we ask Aaron? Google likes this mechanism
15:02:01 <rob> francois: OK, I'll ask Aaron
15:02:40 <rob> jo: AOB - there are a couple of things in Luca's "manifesto" that could be useful here
15:03:39 <rob> francois: I wanted to report on this on the mailing list 1st then take resolutions in a subsequent call
15:04:08 <rob> jo: waht if I include them in the next edition and then everyone reviews?
15:04:28 <jo> PROPSOED RESOLUTION: Include X-Forwarded-For and use of meta http-equiv in next rev
