Re: [foaf-protocols] Yet Another FOAF+SSL ACL Test: ACLs Baton Passing

well, I now have access to the primary URI (the mappings document),
but my attempts to deref the ACL URI supplied in the link header are
failing. I am prompted for my cert, supply it, and then see the HTTP
auth dialog.

BTW - according to the details outlined in the paper[1] (pg. 6 table
1) once I get "Write" access to the ACL resource, I can delete that
ACL document, correct?
