ISSUE-227: How Useful will the CT Guidelines Doc be, without extensions to HTTP?

When is new technology "new technology"?

How Useful will the CT Guidelines Doc be, without extensions to HTTP?

State:

CLOSED

Product:

Guidelines for Web Content Transformation Proxies

Raised by:

Jo Rabin

Opened on:

2007-11-20

Description:

I took an action (ACTION-602) at today's CT Task Force Meeting to raise this as a formal issue.

The options seem to me to be:

a) Cut back the proposed text to discussion of how to use no-transform and the Vary header, together with various heuristics relating to the nature of content (e.g. XHTML-MP, link headers and the like)
b) Introduce new values for Cache-Control, which appears to be condoned by HTTP/1.1 in the section on Cache-Control
c) Try to use some headers that are introduced in RFC 2295 and have been registered
d) Invent entirely new headers

If we stuck to just a) we would achieve very little beyond what has already been promulgated, e.g. by dotMobi. On the other hand, going beyond that could be considered only borderline within our charter remit. Especially option d) which I don't favour.
