I have read Dave Kristol's "HTTP State Management Mechanism" document and was wondering if anyone has considered something like a "Proxy-Cookie"? It would be analogous to the "WWW-Authenticate"/ "Proxy-Authenticate" requests in that the proxy daemon could request that the client set certain state variables when communicating through a that proxy. As a proxy daemon author, I have thought of several potential features or enhancements that could be made if there was a way to include more proxy specific data in the request, beyond the authentication information. As it currently stands, a proxy could conceivably send a "Set-Cookie" request to a browser, however it would only be valid for the current domain (at the most) and would have to be reset every time the client goes to a new domain. I was wondering if anyone else sees a value in such a construct and if it should be pursued further. -- Wyllys Ingersoll ANS Communications Reston VA
