Last call of the specifications occurred before the March IETF. The issues here all relate to issues raised during and after working group last call period, and while interoperability testing has continued to meet IETF process rules.
Note: this list is an internal working document of the IETF HTTP-WG. Please do not distribute, publish, or quote.
@(#) $Id: DSI.html,v 1.4 1999/12/15 10:23:08 ylafon Exp $This is a list of issues raised since last call in the working group. If you think the summary is wrong in any of these instances, please send mail to Jim Gettys, or, if you really think you have a new issue, please send mail to the http working group.
The comments are based on the Revision 4 of the HTTP/1.1 specification, and Auth-02 of HTTP Authentication.
When referring to issues on the list, it helps the editor if you put the issue name into the subject line of any mail messages.
The No field contains an arbitrary number of the issue, which is guaranteed to change in the future (i.e. use the Name of the issue, not its number, in any discussions; it is for convenience during teleconferences.)
The Name field contains the name of the issue; and there are hypertext anchors present in this document of these names for each issue, to aid in cross referencing. We generally don't change the name or delete it once an issue has been opened.
The Short Description field contains a short description of the issue, often hyperlinked to a longer explanation of the issue.
The Status field can have the following values:
The Proposed Resolution field has a synopsis of the proposed resolution, usually with a hyperlink to a longer message detailing the changes to the specification proposed.
The Raised By field contains a mailto: link to the name of the person who raised the issue initially.
The Resp. field contains a mailto: link to the name of the person responsible for drafting language to fix the issue, or responsible to see that action on the issue occurs.
