I have made new versions of the transparent content negotiation drafts available at the usual place: http://gewis.win.tue.nl/~koen/conneg/ There are two new drafts: 1. draft-ietf-http-negotiation-00.txt `Transparent Content Negotiation in HTTP' Defines the core mechanism. Standards track. 2. draft-ietf-http-rvsa-v10-00.txt `HTTP Remote Variant Selection Algorithm -- RVSA/1.0' Defines the remote variant selection algorithm version 1.0. Standards track. These are the result of splitting the previous draft draft-holtman-http-negotiation-04.txt in two, as discussed at the December IETF meeting. As usual, there are text versions, HTML versions, and versions with changebars. Major changes are: - The scope of the `network negotiation algorithm' has been limited to variant selection by servers on behalf of the user agent only. The algorithm has been renamed to `remote variant selection algorithm', and has been moved to a separate draft. - A mechanism to negotiate on the use of remote variant selection algorithms was added. - The two cases `request from negotiating user agent' and `request from non-negotiating user agent' have been decoupled completely. - A `fallback variant' option has been added. We hope to do a last call on the first draft above very soon. There is one small outstanding issue (URN's vs. the neighbors definition) which did not make it into the drafts, I will report on it later. Happy reading!
