Posted from: 83.85.115.123 by annevk@opera.com User agent: Opera/9.80 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7.2; U; en) Presto/2.10.229 Version/11.60 ================================================================================ #1 Anne 2011-12-16 10:05:55 +0000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apparently it depends on the header whether it is preserved in redirects or not and it is not possible to make a general rule for them. However, all headers have to deal with ("author request headers" in XMLHttpRequest, Last-Event-ID, Ping-To, Ping-From) need to be preserved across redirects so we should make that extra clear in the fetching algorithm. ================================================================================ #2 Anne 2011-12-16 10:07:01 +0000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- See also: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/2011OctDec/0420.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/2011OctDec/0441.html ================================================================================ #3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2012-01-28 22:07:12 +0000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So... what do I put in the spec here? ================================================================================ #4 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2012-02-01 00:21:23 +0000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (waiting for anne's return) ================================================================================ #5 Anne 2012-02-02 18:32:00 +0000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Something along the lines of "when following a redirect, include each header included in the original request, unless there are specific requirements for the header in question (e.g. Referer changes during redirects)". ================================================================================ 71577 1 ian 2012-07-27 03:45:57 +0000 Ok. 75430 2 contributor 2012-10-05 23:03:02 +0000 Checked in as WHATWG revision r7436.
