RE: [ACTION-603] Conversation with Yves, our HTTP expert, about CT and Cache-Control extensions

Aaron,
So you believe it is acceptable to ignore the "no-transform" directive,
e.g. if you believe that is what the user wants by accessing a site
through your system?
 
That gets to the essence of my earlier comments that the CT Service
Provider's awareness of user preferences sometimes can (and should)
trump the indicated preference of the content provider.
 
Or have I misinterpreted your comment?
 
Thanks,
Bryan Sullivan

	Further, whether a gateway should take HTML (in the presence of
a no-transform directive) and convert it to WML/WMLC if the browser
doesn't support HTML, is another question; probably no, but again we're
unlikely to see any changes in gateways that do act this way.


I disagree that the answer is "probably no" -- we currently do this and
we see lots of mobile usage from WML only devices, and they primarily
visit HTML pages.  I see no reason to stop users from accessing the
content they want.
