I have two additions to the list: - Accurate statistics in spite of caching: schemes to let proxies communicate hit counts and other statistics for cached resources to the origin servers. - Request-id (which is different from the State-Info proposal by Dave Kristol). Request-ID would be an optional header (or optional part of the From header in some variants), send by clients, to allow accurate clicktrail analysis on server logs, even if the clients are behind proxies or firewalls. I don't care much for this idea myself, but I can't recall that we reached consensus in this discussion. (We did reach consensus on the need for Request-id and State-Info to be two separate mechanisms.) These things were discussed extensively on www-talk in July, for example in the `3 Proposals: session ID, business-card auth, customer auth' thread. Koen.
