The first HTTP/1.1 Multi-Vendor Internet Test Day is Oct 16.
If you plan to participate, please register by filling out the
survey form at the end of this mail, and sending it to
'httptest@agranat.com' by your close of business on Tuesday, Oct 14.
I will combine them and forward them as a single mailing on
Wednesday to all who signed up. If you will have multiple instances
of the same implementation and configuration active, send that as
one registration; if you will have different implementations or
configurations active please send those separately so that it is
clear just what each active system should be.
All are welcome, including 1.0 implementations (testing backward
compatibility is important too).
One special request to proxy vendors; it would be very usefull if
there were proxies available that were configured to forward only to
another proxy server so that we can see the results of chained
proxies, including chains of mixed vendors and mixed HTTP revisions.
If this is too cumbersome to set up for this week, please think
about it for the future.
Test Day Ground Rules:
- Participating systems may be configured to allow access only by
announced participants for that week (if you will be using a
dynamically assigned IP address, indicate this and try to
specify the range from which it will be chosen).
- 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.
Additional suggestions welcome.
