Francois: Raised by Heiko
14:11:51 [SeanP]
Francois: We cannot address it more than we already do.
14:12:28 [SeanP]
Heiko: For one time URLs we can add no-transform.
14:12:39 [francois]

Topic: Idempotency

-> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-bpwg-ct/2008May/0027.html fd's email
14:14:18 [SeanP]
Francois: We had the correct definition of idempotency.
14:14:35 [SeanP]
...If you do the same action multiple times you get the same result.
14:15:12 [SeanP]
...GET requests are supposed to be idempotent.
14:15:16 [francois]
PROPOSED RESOLUTION: Keep things as resolved re. idempotency for the end of 4.1.2. Valid use of "idempotent".

14:16:16 [trackbot-ng]
ACTION-751 Make sure that we are clear about idempotency and side-effect freedome etc. per Dom's original illuminating point about this section closed
14:16:25 [SeanP]
Topic: Sessions and consistency of user experience
14:17:50 [SeanP]
Francois: One things we do not say a lot about is URL-rewriting
14:18:13 [SeanP]
...a click on a link goes through the CT proxy again.
14:18:38 [SeanP]
...Don't think we need to say much about this.
14:18:43 [SeanP]
q+
14:19:04 [SeanP]
Heiko: If you do not have CT enabled, you can't insert links.
14:19:22 [SeanP]
...Should we define an additional header?
14:20:06 [SeanP]
...CT proxy whould add the header.
14:20:16 [francois]

+q
14:22:37 [SeanP]
Francois: When a page is not transformed, then user cannot be back to CT proxy easily
14:23:25 [SeanP]
...also, we do not say much in the guidelines about rewritten URLs and that the CT proxy needs to set the HTTP headers like the request actually came from the client.
14:23:41 [SeanP]
...don't think we need to emphasize this in the document.
14:24:27 [SeanP]
Heiko: CT proxy can be set up as an HTTP proxy where URLs are not rewritten.
14:26:31 [francois]
q?
14:26:34 [francois]
ack hgerlach
14:26:42 [SeanP]
Francois: Don't think we can say much about CT proxy and directing to a page not going through the CT proxy.
14:26:53 [SeanP]
...I see headers and footers as out of scope.

14:32:52 [SeanP]
Francois: Cache-control needs to be strong...could use out of scope means to rewrite URLs.
14:33:30 [SeanP]
Heiko: We have two different no-transform options.
14:33:52 [SeanP]
...first can be HTTP header, second can be in META header.

ACTION: daoust to check on equivalence between an HTTP header and a META element in HTML pages
14:37:04 [trackbot-ng]
Created ACTION-765 - Check on equivalence between an HTTP header and a META element in HTML pages [on François Daoust - due 2008-06-03].
14:39:28 [SeanP]
Francois: I don't think we can do anything about this issue.
14:39:43 [SeanP]
...there is an an editorial note in the document.
14:39:55 [SeanP]
Rob: Maybe the note should stay there.
14:40:32 [SeanP]
Francois: Maybe we could put in a note about how the user experience could break with no-transform.
14:41:09 [SeanP]
Rob: Have a note that it would be a good idea to keep the user experience the same across the session.
14:41:27 [hgerlach]
how do you define session#
14:42:10 [SeanP]
Francois: Don't think we should use "session" because then we would need to define session.
14:42:46 [francois]
Note: When possible, the consistency of user experience should be maintained across a sequence of related requests.
14:44:00 [francois]
PROPOSED RESOLUTION: for sessions: replace the editorial note with the above note. Do not mention sessions. Do not go into more details.

Topic: Link element
14:46:01 [francois]
-> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-bpwg-ct/2008May/0021.html discussion
14:46:03 [SeanP]
Francois: Has been discussed multiple times.
14:46:46 [SeanP]
...Aaron is going to say more about this when he has time.
14:47:04 [SeanP]
...LINK element links to alternate representions of a resource.
14:47:22 [SeanP]
...HTML page could link to a handheld version of the page.
14:48:31 [SeanP]
...Problem that is raised is when the handheld version of the page is requested, there is no way to tell if the page is handheld.
14:49:41 [SeanP]
...There is a way to use the LINK element to "kind of link to itself" but I'm not sure this is used in practice.

14:58:45 [SeanP]

15:00:07 [SeanP]
Rob: Tend to agree.
15:00:33 [SeanP]
Francois: Wait until next week to make a resolution on this.

15:01:51 [SeanP]
Francois: The no-tranform switch needs to be respected.
15:03:24 [SeanP]
Francois: Most done on the editorial notes.
15:03:37 [SeanP]
...A few more things we need to agree on.
15:04:00 [SeanP]
...Want to do last call around F2F date.
15:04:31 [SeanP]
...If there is anything else in the document we want to change, now is the time.
15:05:19 [SeanP]
...once it goes to last call, working group should agree and comments should come from the outside.
