The response has been encouraging. I will volunteer to perform the
role of registrar, and will send a reminder on Friday, Oct 10th to
send in your notice of participation for the first 'test day' on the
16th (a number of respondents, including myself, have indicated that
mid-October would be a good time for them to start).
It has been pointed out that server vendors will mostly be passive
participants other than testing against thier own and others servers
with publically available clients. If client vendors wish to make
available downloadable copies of thier clients, then some of us on
the server side will certainly take advantage of that to help you
test your clients.
To repeat; I will be asking for you to send in the following, filled
in so that other participants will know who is out there to test
with. Also, again - please suggest improvements to any part of this
plan.
================
Organization:
User-Agent or Server string: (may be approximate)
HTTP Role: [origin, proxy, tunnel, client, robot, ...]
HTTP Version: (versions earlier than 1.1 _will_ be usefull)
Address: (DNS host names and/or IP addresses for the HTTP
implementation)
Time: (GMT times the system will be active or available)
Contact Name: (person to contact with an issue)
Contact Email:
Contact Phone:
Contact Hours: (GMT times the contact is available, should overlap
the span in Time, but may be a subset)
Notes: other relevant information, possibly including URLs for
information on where to find background material.
Test Day Ground Rules:
- Participating systems may be configured to allow access only by
announced participants for that week.
- Participants will, on request, make a reasonable effort to
provide whatever relevant log or trace data they have to other
participants to resolve problems.
- If a problem or possible issue with another participant
implementation is found, that issue will be communicated to the
contact for that implementation promptly. Only if the
involved participants disagree on the correct behavior or if
the involved participants agree to do so will the issue be
brought to the working group mailing list.
- Any other disclosure of problems found with other
implementations during these tests is poor form.
- Communicating positive results to other participants is
strongly encouraged.
