- First discussion: Integrating client state into the client table in the font
- 17:07:31 [skef]
- There is a PR with the changes
- 17:07:55 [skef]
- We now have a format for the data
- 17:08:26 [skef]
- Request and response descriptions are modified accordingly
- 17:08:29 [skef]
- Response is much simpler
- 17:09:08 [skef]
- Overall Garret considers the changes positive relative to spec complexity
- 17:09:17 [skef]
- Possible further changes:
- 17:10:02 [skef]
- Considering having the client state object attached to the request rather than unpacking and mixing the fields as they are now
- 17:10:40 [skef]
- Skef agrees that would be a good change
- 17:11:46 [skef]
- (Might need special handling for the codepoint_ordering field.)
- 17:12:47 [skef]
- Second topic: Future of VCDiff in spec as a required implementation
- 17:14:54 [skef]
- Skef worried about the complexity of Brotli, and also the modularity of the implementations
- 17:17:35 [skef]
- Vlad worried about optional spec parts, favors making Brotli mandatory
- 17:24:15 [skef]
- Brotli font-aware patch compression: Finding the related parts of the file
- 17:26:38 [skef]
- Should we specify this in the spec? Garret: Worth mentioning but shouldn't be required
- 17:31:08 [skef]
- Will compare "naive" VCDIFF to "naive" Brotli and see if there are any advantages to the former. If not that will favor dropping VCDiff
- 17:33:52 [skef]
- Garret has been working with the Chrome team on a proper implementation
- 17:36:36 [skef]
- Garret will reach out about the current range-request spec status
- 17:37:40 [skef]
- Question: Are the compression formats in the HTTP spec optional, mandatory, or a mix?
- 17:38:02 [skef]
- (Brotli is in that list.)
- 17:40:31 [skef]
- Will plan on next meeting in two weeks
- 17:40:40 [skef]
