I had gotten some comments from koen in the past on the OPTIONS drafts and Ive been going through them as well as solicitiing other comments on how to move an OPTIONS mechanism forward. Ill be including more comments from koen tomorrow, but Id love to see other comments as well.. ISSUES with OPTIONS 1) [koen] Multi-node, distributed, or modular servers and proxies may have different compliance levels depending on the individual modules. So, if a CGI script is forked off by a server as an isolated program, the server cant vounch for its compliance. resolution: If a client asks for a server wide compliance declaration, the server may respond on behalf of the entire server. HOWEVER, if the server forks off a CGI script or a module, for which it cannot vouch for compliance to a previously declared compliance declaration, it must indicate that. It should indicate this by using the non-compliance header with the 'exception' indicator. --- Josh Cohen <josh@microsoft.com> Program Manager IE - Networking Protocols
