Document: draft-bryan-metalinkhttp-21 Reviewer: Ben Campbell Review Date: 2011-03-01 IETF LC End Date: IESG Telechat date: 2011-03-03 Summary: This draft is essentially ready for publication as a proposed standard. I have a couple of remaining comments that may be worth considering, but probably should not block the draft's progress. Major issues: None. Minor issues: -- I note that the draft still suggests that servers SHOULD share an eTag generation policy, but does not offer a baseline policy that servers either SHOULD or MUST implement. I still have a mild concern that implementations might have non-intersecting sets of policy options. On the other hand, I realize that coming up with (i.e. agreeing to) a baseline policy is not a trivial effort in itself, so I don't think this should block publication. I mention it merely for the sake of completeness. Nits/editorial comments: -- section 2, last paragraph "Metalink clients use the mirrors provided by a Metalink server in Link header fields [ RFC5988 ] but it is restricted to the initial Metalink server they contacted. " s /"... it is restricted..." / "... this is restricted ..." Also, is there a risk the initial server could cause a loop by pointing to _itself_? _______________________________________________ Gen-art mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/gen-art
